Background according to character power source:
Arcane:
Through your extensive study and time spent dealing directly with Arcane magic, you've begun to detect strange fluctuations in the fabric of the known universe and the planes. Places of power and focuses of arcane energy that have stood for centuries are beginning to lose their power. Several thoughts cross your mind: Why are they beginning to fail and how? You had thought these locations and items were imbued with energy from the formation of your world. Were you wrong? Or are events beginning to form on a scale that could shock even you?
Divine:
The Gods are acting very strangely. You've noticed that your prayers don't have the same results as they used to. Sure - you haven't always gotten a direct answer from your deity, but now it almost seems like they are either ignoring you or just distracted. Others you have talked to have had similar results to their prayers - even followers of deities you would normally not associate with. What could be so important to draw this much attention from so many Deities? Is there going to be another Civil War in the Astral Sea? Or could it be something more sinister?
Martial:
Years of training, combat, and time spent honing your skills has left you with a certain connection to the ways of war. Something is happening. You can't entirely explain it. It's as if you're sitting on the battlefield, knowing the enemy is just over the next hill, but you can't see them yet. Nonetheless - you know they are there, and they're coming. Who are they? Maybe that's not all that important. The battle is coming, and you're going to be ready for it.
Primal:
The Spirits are stirring. Those who you've spent much of your life working with and communing with grow more and more agitated every day. There's something in the world itself that seems to be holding its breath. If it were any other creature, you would almost believe it to be afraid. The very essence of the world seems to be waiting, worried for an event to come. What could make even the Ancient Spirits worried? Will you be ready to face it?
Psionic:
You feel a disturbance in the wave form of psionic energy that comes from every creature and object on this world. The normal flow of energy has become erratic, almost chaotic. Something is disrupting this flow and the ripples of these events are spreading through the world and the outer planes as well. Shockwaves of this magnitude and reach can only cause destructive events wherever they go. You know you must find their source.
