-===Desciption===+The Haruspices are a secret society; never reveal your membership to the world at large. You may, however, instruct a potential member in how to join our ranks when you have taken adequate measures to ensure that they do not intend to act against us.
-You are one of Minerva's chosen; a being of sufficient wisdom and strength of+
-mind to be initiated in her esteemed order of the Haruspices. As such, you+
-have been granted a circlet which, when worn, enables you to perform feats of+
-insight which have been heretofore unattainable by mortal beings.+
- +
-There are several skills that, when possessed by a Haruspex, provide for+
-more effective divinations; more information can be found in the help file+
-'haruspex skills'.+
- +
-The various insight skills you gain by wearing this circlet are detailed in+
-the help file 'haruspex divination'; this file also contains fundamental+
-divination information and instruction.+

-The Haruspices are a secret society; never reveal your membership to the world+

-With such powers come restrictions; read the help file 'haruspex restrictions'+

-===Haruspex Skills===+
-Specialty requirements:+
- +
- [[astrology]] - int+
- [[divination]] - per+
- [[literacy]] - int+
- +
-<b>Total: 2x Int, 1x Per</b>+
- +
- A Haruspex will find useful to hir divinations the skills of +
- [[anatomy]]+
- [[animal lore]]+
- [[divination]]+
- [[legend lore]]+
- +
- As these skills grow, one will find that+
- divinations become easier, and thus less taxing on one's spiritual reserves.+
- +
-===Haruspex Divination===+
- +
-As a Haruspex, you may perform four different types of divinations:+
- +
- divine location -- divine the general location of another being+
- divine area -- divine the exact circumstances of another being's+
- location+
- divine inventory -- divine the full inventory of another being+
- divine alignment -- divine the exact alignment of another being+
- divine artifact -- divine the general location of an artifact of the+
- land+
- +
-The syntax for divinations involving living beings is:+
- divine <being>'s <divination type> with <corpse>+
- +
-The syntax for artifact divination is:+
- divine artifact <artifact name> with <corpse>+
- +
-===Training===+
-[[Jylarl]] is the guildmaster, and is available for training all Haurspex skills.+
- +
-===Haruspex Restrictions===+
- +
-Due to the deep level of concentration that must be attained in order to+
-properly perform a divination, one must maintain an ordered alignment if one+
-expects to take advantage of the benefits of being a Haruspex. In addition,+
-a Haruspex may not use instruments of chaos, for these will disrupt the ordered+
-structure of the mind; nor may a Haruspex worship the goddess of Discord,+
-Eris.+
- +
-Jylarl says, "As a Stalker of the Gate, you could not become a proponent of order by joining the Haruspices." to you.+
- +
-Jylarl says, "The worship of Athena does not allow the veneration of Asmodai, so you cannot join the Haruspices." to you.+
- +
-Jylarl says, "The worship of Athena does not allow the veneration of Aristes, so you cannot join the Haruspices." to you.+
- +
-Jylarl says, "As a Traveler, you could not become a follower of a deity by joining the Haruspices." to you.+
- +
-As part of the move away from alignment Warbreaker starshadow blades have become instruments of chaos from the perspective of the Haruspices and cannot be wielded while in this assoc.+
- +
-It appears that you may not rejoin the Haruspices after leaving the association.+
