The Staff

⟢

The Boss

ㅤSharzhad Pavaatiㅤ

Shazi is the owner of The Whispered Word. She's been running this shop for longer than she probably should have been, and is a ruthless business woman even at her young age. The Rowena of the Shroud, some might say. This Opalescent teen is known for her whimsy, and uncanny friendliness even when milking you for all you're worth. Tread carefully travelers!

✦

The Front

ㅤIbi Vilsaㅤ

A youthful looking Keeper who radiates an air of positivity, Ibi can frequently be found hiding in the darker corners of the Whispered Word reading some manner of mysterious text or enjoying whatever is on today's menu for lunch.While rare, Ibi's true talents come to light when the Whispered Word requires aid on items dealing with spirits/the lifestream of the Star itself.

ㅤInyoku Sagiㅤ

A corrupted Auspice summoned by Shazi herself that is now bound by agreement with the business savvy Keeper. Despite this truth, In and her sister do not seem bothered by it, but instead excited.While her true intentions and goals still remain a mystery, there is an agreement in place that the woman will not bring any harm to Shazi's patrons...as long as they enter the establishment with good intentions.On the nights that In helps staff the Whispered Word, she can be found playing host downstairs behind the main desk.

ㅤLuci'a Sitaraㅤ

Older than he looks and mostly assumed to be two crayons short of a full box, Luci'a's story is a jumbled mess. One moment he can be found fondly recalling his 'traditional roots', the next he's laughing about how he accidently started a cult. All that really needs to be known is that he's a 'long lost cousin' of Shazi's that showed up in the shop one day and hasn't left.

ㅤKazlux Murasameㅤ

One of The Whispered Word's 3 resident kitsune that serve under master Sharzhad.Polite and Friendly, her curious nature let her into the shop one day, drawn by it's arcane magiks, only to find herself not long after, striking a deal with the owner and sticking around where she remains a loyal employee to this day.Much like her vulpine sisters, the vixen is ever mysterious, though rumor has it she has something of a deep heritage in the shinobi arts.

ㅤShanti Hartfeltㅤ

A long lost 'relative' of Shazi who just showed up one day along side Luci'a. She's since taken it upon herself to linger around the shop. The woman has a flare for the theatrics, and always wears a smile. More often than not, when doing business with Shanti, one will find themselves making deals rather than exchanging coin. Do you dare to make a deal with the devil?

The Readers

ㅤAiyoku Sagiㅤ

A corrupted Auspice summoned by Shazi herself that is now bound by agreement with the business savvy Keeper. Despite this truth, Ai and her sister do not seem bothered by it, but instead excited.While her true intentions and goals still remain a mystery, there is an agreement in place that the woman will not bring any harm to Shazi's patrons...as long as they enter the establishment with good intentions.Most nights, Ai can be found reading peoples fates and divulging the good, bad, and ugly.

ㅤKanu'a Vashaliㅤ

The descendent of an archaic bloodline, Kanu'a is believed by the people of his clan to be the voice of the wilds, an oracle, the mediator between men and gods.Though he spends much of his time in his ancestral forest, he has become a frequent pilgrim, venturing into the world to gain knowledge of the outside and offer his aid to those who may need it. In furtherance of that endeavor, he volunteers at the Whispered Word as a rune reader, providing his prophetic services for those who desire it.

ㅤNos Djt-Setlasㅤ

Believed to be a bridge between the Earth and the Heavens in his own tribe, Nos' journey that landed him to working at the Whispered Word was a...confusing one indeed.Partial bodyguard, this once proud Wood-Warder can be found more recently reading cards for folks. Don't let him fool you though, the axe isn't for show. He will toss you out if needed.

ㅤPoppy Sohr-khaiㅤ

A dragon masquerading amongst mankind, Poppy entered into a 'mutually beneficial business arrangement' with The Whispered Word. In exchange for his services and draconic wisdom, he gets to linger and people watch. Exciting! When not assisting around the shop, or reading the stars, that's exactly where he can be found. Where his actual body is? Only a handful really know.

ㅤInterested in becoming a Reader?ㅤ

By the Twelve do we get this question often!While we thank you for your interest, we are not currently hiring more Readers. Should this ever change, we will announce this in our Discord; so we suggest you join and sign up for our announcements!

The Mascots

ㅤChesterㅤ

Chester is a small, tamed mimic in the employ of Shazi. He's generally only seen sitting on the check out counter, but every now and again the chest can be seen hopping around after the opal teen. He carries some of the shop's more valuable items inside of himself as an added source of security, and when angered can grow to three times his size, bare his venom covered fangs, and take a hefty chunk out of any thief to add to his hoard.

ㅤChomperㅤ

No one is really sure how Chomper came to be in the shop. Some say it was when a rogue Lalafell dropped a morbol vine in surprise! Others claim that it simply walked out of a portal that was connected to another Star.Whatever the case is? The Staff isn't divulging the secret. Chomper, and his fabulous red dress, are never for sale.

ㅤGilbertㅤ

Gilbert is a small, tamed mimic in the shape of a gil coin! Obtained via a trade from a patron who visited the Whispered Word stall during a community event, he now finds a forever home with one TWW's Readers, Aiyoku Sagi.Gilbert can often be found on her reading table next to a warm cup of tea or stashed away somewhere on the woman herself.

Card Readings

Card reading is the practice of divining wisdom and guidance through a specific spread (or layout) of cards. However, contrary to popular belief, the cards do not simply tell your fortune, and one does not have to be a psychic to give readings. The cards are meant to provide insight into the innermost truths of your higher self. In other words, the cards provide an evolved awareness of what you already know deep within. We currently offer two types of card readings; they are listed below!

Due to popularity and time constraints, our readers are only offering three card pulls at this time. If you're looking for something more in-depth, please join our discord.

ㅤAre the Cards Calling You?ㅤ

ㅤTarot Cardsㅤ

Perhaps the most known type of card reading is Tarot Cards. Coming in a more structured deck, are usually more detailed, and have a more rules involved when using them. Tarot card decks also usually have 78 cards, some decks might have 80 or 44, but majority have 78. In our experience, Tarot cards have a tendency to be more blunt and they'll tell you the good, bad, and ugly.

ㅤOracle Cardsㅤ

Where Tarot card decks have more of a traditional structure and common meanings, Oracle cards can have any content and any number of cards. Oracle cards tend to hold a bigger energy and give an insight into a greater sense of what is going on. Usually more free-flowing and upbeat in tone, we find Oracle Cards acknowledge a person with usually a general 'gentler' touch.

⟢

Rune Readings

ㅤWhat do the Runes have in Store?ㅤ

Rune Reading, or Rune Casting, is a divination art that utilizes symbols to divine insight into the past, present, and future or to provide guidance on how to address a particular issue or problem one is facing. In this respect, it can be likened to Tarot Card reading, though the iconography and cultural origins of these arts differ rather significantly. They are best used as a revolutionary tool, or an exploration of internal thought. The best way to think of them is that they tell you Truths.

Due to popularity and time constraints, our readers are only offering three rune pulls at this time. If you're looking for something more in-depth, please join our discord.
