Wise King Og, Tales of the Rephaim

King Og of Bashannon appears in two of Jack Loki's adventures, "Illimilku's Treasure" and "Feather of a Swallow, Blood of an Owl". Both are treasure hunts instigated by the visions of a character named Jonesy Stoneseer, a Mahquam-nanteerf of the Second House, who is also an infamous fascrinnaytor. King Og recommends Jonesy Stoneseer to Jack, telling him that the fascrinnaytor currently enjoys Lady Fortune's good and generous favor.

"However, I must include this caveat," warns the king. "Do not employ him more than two times. A broken clock tells the correct time only twice. Do not rely on him for a third."

A fascrinnaytor is a person with apparently fraudulent magic or "psychic power", who somehow manages, by accident, by luck, by who-knows-what-mystery, to produce an end result of real value.
