	'''Description:''' Originally possessed by the legendary druid Cathbad, the ''vathi'' are among the most grotesque methods of divination available. Consisting of over two dozen perfectly preserved severed heads, the ''vathi'' are usually arranged in a circle, either on stakes or in a cool grotto, with a cauldron of blood in the center of the ring. While no blood drips from the stumps of the severed heads, their flesh is as firm and warm as they were the day each was taken from its previous owner.

	When called upon to ~~profesy~~, the ''vathi'' tend to speak in a series of short phrases, with various heads taking turns in speaking. While the original spirits of the heads' owners are gone, traces of their personalities remain and as such, the ''vathi'' can be snide, sarcastic or even flatly uncooperative. On the other hand, they can also be cajoled into revealing more than they would have normally.		When called upon to prophesy, the ''vathi'' tend to speak in a series of short phrases, with various heads taking turns in speaking. While the original spirits of the heads' owners are gone, traces of their personalities remain and as such, the ''vathi'' can be snide, sarcastic or even flatly uncooperative. On the other hand, they can also be cajoled into revealing more than they would have normally.

	Since the fall of Conchovor of Ulster, the ''vathi'' have been scattered far and wide across Europe. Thirteen can be found in the possession of the ancient Cappadocian Kylon, while the rest are merely the subject of rumor and conjecture. As each head has certain protections laid on it by Cathbad, it is unlikely that many have been destroyed. They are merely lost, awaiting discovery and use.

	To activate a ''tarbfeis'', the player must roll Wits + Occult against a variable difficulty. The cauldron in the center of the ring must contain some bull's blood, but the rest can be the blood of beasts, men or Cainites. If the cauldron contains entirely animal blood, the difficulty for the roll is 7. If there is human blood mixed in, the difficulty is 6. If Cainite blood is included, the difficulty is 5. The number of successes indicates the duration of the ''vathi's'' prophetic ramblings; a botch produces malicious inaccuracies.
