Justiciar — a hidden tradition —

Most associate the Seer with oracles, diviners, and fortunetellers, individuals who read the skein of reality to follow the threads of fate and untangle the possible futures. Most priests of the Seer have withdrawn from the world, dwelling in isolation to commune undisturbed with their deity and to consider the information they gain.

Most associate the Seer with oracles, diviners, and fortunetellers, individuals who read the skein of reality to follow the threads of fate and untangle the possible futures. Most priests of the Seer have withdrawn from the world, dwelling in isolation to commune undisturbed with their deity and to consider the information they gain.

Yet the Seer has ever been more than the father of fates, the author of dooms. He also champions justice in the world, his named invoked by judges and nobles alike to gain his wisdom when passing judgment on the guilty.

Before the rise of the New God’s cult, servants of the Seer called justiciars traveled the lands of the Empire to weigh in on criminal cases and lend their expertise to solving crimes and ascertaining the guilt of the accused. As Astrid’s following has grown, though, so too has intolerance for the old ways; the justiciars found themselves unwelcome and, in time, largely vanished. A few remain, though, and they have the vision and cunning to get to the truth of almost any matter.
