They were also responsible for interpreting the prophecies which Sandra Rosse had left behind in her journal after her passing.  In many cases these prophecies were eerily accurate in predicting events to come, although whether a Nova Cat Khan chose to act upon them was at their discretion.  A [[Oathmaster Grand Melee|grand melee]] was held every year by the Nova Cats to determine who would be Oathmaster.<ref name=IC>''Invading Clans'', p. 106-107</ref>
