The Seekers

The Seekers are an ancient organisation, seemingly based in Amaranth, though it is safe to presume that they have bases across all of Amaranthine. Currently operating out of The Citadel, they, as their name suggests, seek the Relics of the Sixteen, claiming to be their rightful owners. Each of the seventeen members of the organisation takes the name of one of the Divines; the Sixteen Elemental Divines and High Lord Nivicus. Intending to harness the "True Power" of the Relics, The Seekers scour Amaranthine in search of any hidden Relics and also personally contact the owners of any that are discovered.
==Formation==
Given the general secrecy behind the organisation, it is near impossible to place an exact date on the formation of The Seekers. However, the earliest known mention of the Relics in the Council Archives is from the Post Creation Era, circa 354PC, so it is likely that, if The Seekers organisation was formed around the time of the discovery of the Relics, this would place the date even before then. This would, of course, mean that The Seekers predated not only The Kingdom, but even The Council of the Aether.
This is, of course, only speculation.
==Members==
The true identity of any of The Seekers is unknown, with each having adapted their Divine moniker. Whilst it is unlikely that the current members are the same as those from the original formation, in certain cases, such as the Seeker calling themself Nivicus, it is perhaps a possibility, given his Gifted status. 
If it is the case that deceased members are replaced, it is unknown whether their replacements are chosen based on direct lineage or some other qualification. It is worth noting, however, that the Divines show no traits of any of the known Bloodlines, although this is merely what is seen and could reflect any number of things beyond them being their own race - a Manipulator Illusion, for example.
Each of the seventeen members of The Seekers, beyond simply adopting the name of a Divine, also takes on some of their personality, reflecting the same general ideals, but given that The Seekers are mortals, any ideals are tainted by emotion, making them but a dark reflection of that which a Divine would show. For example, the Seeker Sekheimos, whilst looking favourably upon war finds honour a useless facet.
==Organisation==
Whilst The Seekers have no strict heirarchy - that is to say that no member of The Seekers holds any direct power over any other - there are a number of rules that each member must follow, known simply as the Tenets. However, no copy of such a document has ever been seen, and the existence of such a set of rules outside of The Seekers is known only through word of mouth.
