| Roll | Spirit Advice (Uncle's Words) | Interpretation (Uncle's Tone) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "Aldran, seek the stillness, lad. Find yer center." | (Patient, slightly gruff) "You're too wound up. Quiet your mind, listen to what's inside, not just the noise around you." |
| 2 | "Follow the whispers, Aldran. Even the faintest ones." | (Knowing, conspiratorial) "Don't dismiss the little things, the gut feelings. They're often the truest." |
| 3 | "Embrace the shadow, Aldran. Don't run from it." | (Stern, but caring) "We all have dark parts. Ignoring them won't make 'em go away. Face 'em, learn from 'em." |
| 4 | "Nurture the flame, Aldran. Keep it burnin'." | (Encouraging, warm) "Don't let your passions die out. Fan the embers, find what makes you truly happy." |
| 5 | "The river flows, Aldran. Don't fight the current." | (Wise, resigned) "Things change, whether we like it or not. Go with it, adapt. You'll only exhaust yourself swimmin' against the tide." |
| 6 | "Roots and branches, Aldran. Remember where you come from, but reach for the sky." | (Proud, nostalgic) "Don't forget your family, your heritage. But don't let it hold you back either. Grow, Aldran, grow." |
| 7 | "The veil thins, Aldran. Be watchful." | (Warning, concerned) "Things ain't always what they seem. Pay attention to the signs, the unseen. You might be seein' more than most." |
| 8 | "The mirror reflects, Aldran. Look deep." | (Direct, challenging) "Your actions have consequences, lad. Be honest with yourself about who you are, and what you're doin'." |
| 9 | "The gathering storm, Aldran. Prepare yourself." | (Serious, urgent) "Trouble's comin'. Get ready, be strong. You'll need all your wits about you." |
| 10 | "The golden dawn, Aldran. There's light ahead." | (Hopeful, reassuring) "Even in the darkest times, there's always hope. Keep your chin up, things will get better." |
