Witch-Seers of Volgadas
Little is known by anyone… just the name of their collective – “Witch-Seers of Volgadas“. There have been witch seers for millennium – some say from the time of the Celestials or even before. They roam the Steel Realms, said to give counsel to heroes and villains alike, guiding the actions that guide those of power. No one even knows where Volgadas is, or if it is even a place.
- Brynlad – Dead; Believed to lend her essence to the creation of the Blue Wall.
- Gogereith – Dead
Vagaert the Blind Seerees – Most often seen in the northern heartlands (and hinterlands after Brynlad died), led by a young girl, stumbling blind. It is said she knows simple words which can blind a man, beast, or god.
Arith – Said to be mad, and to forever wander the Fallen East.
Nerislin the Seeress – Haunting the central heartlands for thousands of years, she has been absent most recently from any sightings. She is by far the most cryptic. She also calls herself The Seeress of Lahasha (a rumored to be temple in the north carved by giants before the Blood of Saemon rose in the Steel Realms). She is described as crone and young woman alike, leading some to believe there were, or are, multiple creatures calling themselves by the name.
Tabithia the Seeress – Also called Light of the East, there are records of her from there, and she most often appears before the High King or his advisors.
Auslaung the Witch-Warrior – Said to dwell deep in the Wailing Wastes and be a fierce warrior. It is said she need blood for her magics to work, so she challenges brave warriors on the road. Those that defeat her, she gives of her own blood – blood that heals fatal wounds.

Meeting one is a portent like no other – it is a sign that one will be involved in great things… though the fate of such things may or may not be illuminated by the seer.
The Witch-Seers are known to reach out to mortals in dream, taking them as a patron and entwining them in their machinations.
Volgada – Believed to be the “first” seer, not seen or mentioned since around CY 4200; It is said that from her descendants came the initial ideas and members of the Sisterhood.

Skelosian Connection
It is said that there are the blind scholars that work under the tutelage of Witch-Seers of Volgadas to create works using Skelosian Ink. They work upon the dreams of those in orbit of the seers, and extract knowledge and inscribe it on scrolls mostly – the Scrolls of Skelos.
Legend: The eternal Light of Eusol illuminates a study at high noon, and the only sound is that of pen on paper as the scrolls roll out over each scribe’s station with the sun drying the Skelosian Ink. The goal? Preserve and extend knowledge. The void works to destroy knowledge, feeding on it hungrily. It will come for the centers of learning – to consume the revealing light of knowledge in its empty darkness.
Scarce Knowledge / Hard Difficulty
It is believed there have been many who passed into obscurity over time.
It is also said that they can grant a certain “sight”, a glimpse of The Pattern which can make the difference in life or death. It is referred to as the Glimmer of Witch Sight.
