Orothas, the Storyteller

Orothas weaves the story of Longbridge in real-time, deciding the outcomes of people’s hopes and dreams, excluding their interactions with other people, who make their own decisions. The story itself (everything that’s ever happened in history) is called The Book of Oro, or just Oro. The contents of citizen’s personal thoughts are not committed to the Book of Oro, nor are mundane details that are not worth reporting.

Citizens pray to Orothas for favourable outcomes to their endeavours, which Orothas may or may not see fit to indulge. Not everything everyone wants is compatible with the storyline. Citizens are aware that Orothas’ primary responsibility is to tell the greatest story, not to guarantee their personal successes, or even their personal safety.
