Cultural Significance
Seers are the spiritual backbone of the Nomads of Aurora. They hold no official political seat yet wield great influence over the Elders Council. Their visions are treated as Landorya's living memory and bridge the confederation to wider unseen forces.
Lore
The gift first woke in a young girl of the Tribe of the Silver Mane who stared unblinking into a violent aurora and emerged three days later able to recite the names of storms yet to be born. The Nomads have since treated the aurora as an open eye, Landorya watching and speaking through light. During the great Dispersion a council of seers read the auroral patterns so precisely that not a single caravan was lost. No confederation council convenes without first waiting for a seer's reading of the night sky.
