Specially anointed children that acted as the mouthpieces of the Demi-Pantheon during the second half of the Age of Demigods. It is unclear in the modern era if Oracles each spoke for ONE Demigod or if they were general conduits for ALL the Demigods and what powers and responsibilities they actually had.

A great number of these traditions were kept as mystery cults, so much like gnosticism or something, really the only information we have is that penned by sources hostile to the Alexandrian Church.

The Canon of Orthodoxy, especially the Testimonial of Dadtim, is the main widely-known information about the Oracles and it focuses mostly on their bodyguards, the Oracular Phalanx and specifically on those who became the Oath of the Blackguards, way more than the Oracles themselves. Many consider the Prophet's War to have begun with the corruption of the Oracles or of the willing defection of their Paladin protectors.
