The Cave of the Sacred Oracle is a setting in King's Quest 6.
About
The name of the island derives from a lone peak which soars into the clouds beyond the city. There, in a cave, dwells the sacred Oracle, the philosophical head of the community. It is said that the Oracle is centuries old, ultimately wise, and can read the future. She is consulted by the lord and lady on every facet of the city s life, and even advises the king and queen. I, of course, did not meet the Oracle, and even most Winged Ones citizens regard her as an almost mythical being. The greatest honor any Winged Ones citizen might hope for in his or her long life is to be granted a meeting with the Oracle, for her cave is a place reserved for only the most worthy souls. Like many lofty ambitions, most of the Winged Ones never achieve this end.
Before Alexander could ask what this boon might be—he had a few suggestions of his own, if anyone was interested—the winged courtiers seized him once more. Again he was carried above the towers and pillars of the City of the Winged Ones, but instead of returning him to the beach, or even the cliffs, this time he was transported to the highest spot of the entire Isle: a cloudtop cave that held the Aerie of the Oracle.
Alexander had read of the Winged Ones' Oracle, a seeress who can infallibly predict the future, and who has been consulted even by King Caliphim and Queen Allaria. His boon, it seemed, was to be an audience with her.
Alexander was ushered into the cave by the suddenly respectful courtiers. Surprisingly young for one such, the Oracle was bending over a well of green radiance. Unlike the other inhabitants of this isle, the look she turned upon Alexander was a kindly one.[2]
