From the “People and groups of power” by Devian Fersei, published on 3th year of 7th period of owl, third era, in the City of Vermol in Central Kingdom.
“There used to be reasonably large groups of people called by different names at different times and places, but with all common traits.
The most common name seems to be “seeker” though many other names are used and I will try to explain some of the other names in more detail later in this chapter, but unless otherwise noted, the term seeker is used to indicate them all.
The largest number of seekers seemed to coincide with the starting of mage wars, where most seekers were killed, seemingly even in much higher proportion than the rest of the population.
All seekers seem superhuman in power in one way or other, seemingly being somewhere between normal mortals and Demigods. The higher powerred seekers seem almost like demigods in power.
All the seekers seem to be associated with some great power. The powers of the seekers are different for the different seeker types, as are their associations. The most common types seem to be “divine seekers” associated with gods or demigods.
The Divine seekers seem to have close links to their gods and work as prophets and such for the churches, though not members of the chruch in the traditional sense and often disliked by the church hierarchy. The number of these seems to be slowly on the upswing, probably the total number is several hundred by now, though estimating exact numbers is hard. Most common are ofcourse those seekers following lords of orhan.
The second classes of seekers seem to be the elementalists, these are seekers associated with 4 of the 6 elements.. or the 4 elements of classic magic theory. These seekers are linked to their chosen element, employing it to great effect.
Then there was a group of seekers apparently associated with the life element, called Guardians, they seem to bond to the people, animals and other life in an area, having great powers in the area, but not elsewhere. Some recent sources claim that there are some guardians again, though this is unconfirmed.
Finally there was a group of seekers apparently associated with unlife element, called destroyers, there were never thankfully numerous, and apparently destroyed in the magewars”
