These story elements/Oracles were created with intention being used in creating adventures for "King Arthur: Pendragon". To give the Oracles a test drive we've used them a few times in a modified version of "In a Wicked Age", this worked so well we've played it a few more times!
These story elements could be used for as a quick staring point for a wide variety of fantasy games, though the emphasis is on tales of Chivalry. (If you're unfamiliar with the complex, often brutal, frequently strange tales that make up the Arthurian Legends a quick internet search reveals dozens of sites to help inform you, This one is as good as any.
