Ancient Seer: "I have seen the future. To save the world, you must find the light in the shadow of the broken sun."
Hero: "Okay, but could you just give me a map? Or a name of a place?"
Seer: "No. Here is a riddle instead. Good luck."
It’s just so ripe for miscommunication. Why can’t it be: "Go to the mountain. Stab the guy. Done."
Vague instructions like that just give me PTSD of my day job. You can tell that the Ancient Seer is cut for upper management.
