History
At the Third Archon Kingdom, it was ordered that an enormous monument must be created from an extremely large slab of rock. Four will users (Yeron , Moryk, Calran and Avisto) created the Snowspire Oracle, and four Glyphs that contained the knowledge of how to use its power. The objective of this huge monument was to prepare the Kingdom for the future, while keeping record of the present and present.
Thousands of years after The Oracle was under imminent attack, the four Glyphs were buried in The Necropolis, near Snowspire city, and there they remained, waiting to be found.
The Oracle and The Hero
After years of peace in Albion, Jack of Blades once again managed to spread evil in the world, so, it's The Hero's task to defeat him. When he reaches Snowspire for the first time, Scythe asks him to find four Glyphs (the quest is named "The Oracle of Snowspire"), allowing them to speak with the Oracle. Finishing this quest will allow The Hero to perform the Yeron, Moryk, Calran and Avisto expressions, allowing him to ask about four things: The People of Albion, Other Things about Albion, The Creatures of Albion and The History of Albion.
Trivia
When the four oracle expressions are used, The Hero makes a Y, M, C, or A with his arms, a pun for the actual YMCA coreography.
