the entire kingdom.
112 Moss and fungi sprout
wherever a blacksmith’s
daughter walks.
113 The entrails of divination
hold mathematical, nay, fractal
shapes that Should Not Be In
Nature.
114 The rivers run green
and the trees bloom blue.
115 All throughout the
city pepperoni tastes like
pineapple.
116 The night brings
radiant, grasping,
pulsing darkness from
the moon.
121 The Bramble Wight
walks the old roads again.
122 The air is acrid but for
a wind that brings the scent
of a death flower.
123 West winds don’t blow
anymore.
124 Glass no longer breaks
against the ships.
125 The World Tree
produces a single fruit.
It withers on the
branch, crumbling to
dust.
126 The sun has set; your
ship has sailed; the voyage of
eternal darkness awaits!
131 Each die turn to dust
if someone rolls it.
132 Every ellipse
becomes a circle.
133 Maps start
leading people astray.

134 Silence becomes unbear-

able. One must constantly
hum to keep from dissolving.

135 The Moon opens, reveal-
ing a giant eye. It does not
blink, and we do not know
what, or who, it is watching.
136 Something is always lurk-
ing behind the next corner.
141 An miasma causing
monolingualism descends
on a street. An old woman
rolls three or four loan-
words around her mouth
like scuffed marbles.
142 The princess’ hair becomes
spaghetti, and anywhere she
goes, birds would try to eat it
off her head.
143 A long neglect-
ed tree suddenly bears
fruit. The fruit bleeds.
144 Any word that is read
and understood begins to
fade on the page. A sacred
text is unaffected.
145 All rusted knives become
sharp and new again. But
they no longer cut anything
that is non-living.
146 Clocks on belltowers start
going backwards, numbers
melting off of them replaced
by the old signs.
151 There is no spicy! The
taste, it’s gone!
152 Every night,
without fail, the stars
disappear between
9:14 and 9:17 pm. They
return, twinkling as
always, as if their
disappearance didn’t
turn the night sky into
a gaping hole.
153 The shopkeepers raise
their prices, worrying
about tomorrow’s news.
154 The tide goes out and
does not rise for two days,
dried seaweeds form into
lauging faces.
155 Something is screaming
deep within the cliffs.
156 The disciples of the god of
truth speak ill.
161 A craftsman can not
keep his hands still
162 The siren’s children
have returned.
163 Numbers no longer divide
the way they used to. An uncle
divides eleven oranges into
two equal piles.
164 All zeroes become ones,
and all ones zeroes. The
world goes dark, technology
ceasing.
165 The Barbarians are
at the gates.
166 The Barbarians are in the
city.
211 A fire starts at the
Old Library, burning an-
cient knowledge.

become bolder. They aren’t
even hiding it, anymore.

bread. 224 All the firstborn children
have turned into hares!
215 A bunch of mouse scien-
tists armed with appropriately
tiny signs have started to pro-
test the disappearance of their
tiny science textbooks. They’re
trying to do important science,
but can’t.

216 All spyglasses show

glimpses into strange,
otherly worlds, rather than
whatever they’re pointed
at.

225 A deep thrumming
sound emanates from
beneath the air. Nobody
has heard anything like
it.
226. The temples are emp-
ty, but sacrifices abound.
231 Funeral shrouds refuse to
burn on pyres.
232 A travelling market settles
on the edge of town, staffed by
shady goblins.
233 Long forgotten things call
out in the night once again.

a staring eye.

equilateral triangles.
236 All of our things are
packed in labeled cardboard
boxes.
241 Milkweeds sprouts,
grows, flowers and with-
ers in one day on nameless
graves. It repeats three
times.
242 Gilded spoons sing
the song of last meal
and wither to rust.
243 Washing machines are
discovered to be portals
to another dimension.
Perhaps you can find your
lucky socks there?
244 Spiders chitter from
every shadow.
245 Scabs when peeled
don’t stop at the edg-
es. Pulling off the skin
doesn’t hurt.
246 All music sounds dis-
cordant.
251 E very morning you
find a new pile of teeth.
(On closer inspection they
are all the same tooth).
252 Notes in an unknown
language are found all over the
city. The strange letters look
like beads on a string.
253 No matter what you do or
where you go, whenever you
glance behind you, there is a
frog watching.
254 Moonlight cast through
open spaces (like a window, or
a keyhole) forms the teardrop
shape of an eye/a pointed end
of a spear/casts no shadow.
255 Structures are
strangely devoid of
insects and small
insects refuse to enter
buildings. If access in
every other direction is
blocked, they stay still
and refuse to cross.
When they are carried
across the threshold
forcefully, they die
instantly upon passing
beneath the door lintel.
256 The night after a
murder, the murderer’s
house catches fire with
bright blue and white
flames. Every time.
261 The incidence rate of heart
attacks within the locality
has been rising to a statistical
improbability. When charted,
they follow an unusual geomet-
ric pattern. (First one, then
two, then four, then eight, then
sixteen, then thirty-two....)
262 Wolves answer the call of
the cultists, converging to the
Old Town.
263 In Elysium, the heroes
of old start forgetting
their names and deeds.
264 There is a tiny
bean found under every
pillow.
265 Large clouds turn to
puffy pastry overnight; the
sky is filled with creamy
bread.
266 Everyone goes about their
daily work as usual, but no one
speaks a single word. Nobody
seems to notice this fact.

the skin by tattoo guns.
Syringes stop working.
Every opening of the body
starts scabbing shut.
312 Masks are useless.
313 Tattoos come to life,
leaving their host bodies
behind.

the ashes of a forgotten

opposite direction.

eclipse that turns the sky

454 Strange artifacts
reveal themselves
through the lands.

with its ancient mysteries
and quiet ruins, is re-
vealed once more.
456 Those with the gift are
tested, those found wanting
do not move forward.
461 The mine and its
memories open like a gaping
wound on the hillsides of the
kingdom.
462 Puzzles begin to trap
their players.

appears with the dawning
sun. It beckons the fool-

undying dungeon are freed
to hunt again.

documents become useless.

into the entire population,

to be able to care much.
556 All chance outcomes
roll only their highest or
lowest values. AI training

disappearing, and nobody

noise.
566 The gods walk in

and terrible aspects.

wealthy.

563 When a copy of the sacred

text is burned, the flames are
cold, and seem to provide a
view into deep space.
611 All food grants
visions to those who
eat it. Sobriety comes
only to those who forgo
sustinance.

612 A door only tangible

from one side appears in
the town square. Nobody
thinks much of it until the
sins of the powerful etch
themselves onto it.

613 The fifth letter of the

alphabet becomes a conduit
of power from the dragon
dimension, spraying elemental
geysers.

614 Ever since last week’s

storm, every day everybody
wakes up in a different
body.

615 A shaft of rain has stayed

in one place for a month.
616 The scatterbrained
and absentminded are all
suddenly consumed with
the same dread purpose, and
nothing can distract them.
621 For months, brides have
been floating off on their
wedding days, no matter how
they are bound, and cannot be
found.
622 The seal of the
Deepwell has been found
broken by a street
urchin.

light.

stopped, their engines
seized and fuzed into
something solid.
626 The oracle has gone,
leaving only ashes and
the smell of fennel.
631 Gardens throughout
the township have reported
weeks worth of growth
overnight.
632 There’s a strange and
creepy clown in every mall,
hanging out withered flowers.
No one seems to remember
their face or name - but every-
one knows that it’s the same
person everywhere.
633 A lonely girl talks
to her plants as she
waters them. One day,
they start talking back.
634 As the sun sets, the
wayfinding lights are set
upon by a plague of death’s-
head moths. They hurl
themselves madly into the
campfire, but still more
come.
635 Fireflies ignite at the
softest touch, setting a forest
ablaze.
636 The natural world
begins to retake the
landscape. Growing
and and spreading at an
unnatural rate.
641 T he last fire is dying out.
642 Towering trees sprout
in the center of each conti-
nent.
643 Feathers fall
faster than stone.
644 Water no longer puts
out fires, it only tempers
them.
645 You hear the cries
of each blade of grass
you trample.
646 Offerings remain
unburned when the flame dies
down.
651 The fungus is among us.
652 Machines only work if
cajoled.
653 The letter “Z”
has vanished from the
alphabet. Many worry
“Y” may be next.
654 Words start appearing
on the back of people’s
hands. Each person’s
skin reads something
different.
655 Tree bark is covered in
eye shapes. So are moth wings.
The Watcher lurks beneath.
656 You cannot count up to
a desired number. You find
yourself inventing strange
numerals to defer the end
indefinitely.
661 The petition has been
denied. The doors of the
firmament open.
662 The entire village suffers
prosopagnosia -- unable to rec-
ognize faces.
663 Shadows have no master,
their delphic movements alien
and unknown.
664 Sleepiness afllicts
everyone.
665 Paper turns to ash, but
doesn’t burn.

A list of omens appears
in a public place,
