Portent's arcane focus and spellbook; a mysterious relic called a Horologue. It's a magic relic that can be used to divine time, tune into specific timelines and read time that has not happened yet.

Rather than record spells in a book, Portent recalls specific moments in time and turns the dials on her horologue to tune into specific timelines.

She's intrinsically bound to it and it ticks instead of her heart. Sometimes it ticks erratically, or backwards or not at all. She's not sure what it means.

A black swan event?

There I was, walking by the water meadows that flank the River Avon when I saw a flock of geese feeding from the grass. My attention was then drawn to the black swan standing a short distance away from the geese. I've never seen a black swan before so, this could have been regarded as a bit of a privilege. However, with everything that's going on in the world at the moment as we slide further towards dystopia, I'll admit that on seeing this swan, I felt somewhat spooked! Which is grossly unfair on the swan that was simply minding its own business as it fed itself from the grass…
