The Seekers of Truth (Tóraitheoir an Fhírinne)

## Summary

The Seekers of Truth are those who choose to dedicate their lives not only to the alignment of reality with Truth, but to exploring the self and the nature of one’s thoughts, feelings, and desires and using knowledge of those principles to consider the personal Truths of those around them. The Seekers are often disconnected from one another physically, with perhaps one or two in rare cases acting in a given jurisdiction. One Seeker might have the ear of the nobility at court, while another looks after a collection of simple tribes--each has their purpose, and in each they find purpose and Truth. They are the Holy Order of Firinn.

## Joining the Seekers of Truth

To become a member of the Seekers of Truth, one must undertake a vigil before a mirror graced by the presence of Faileasiar for twenty-four hours, entering into a meditative trance and sense of oneness within the Collective Unconscious. At the end of the vigil, if the supplicant has begun the process of earnest enlightenment, they are invited to take an Oath which binds them to the order until such a point as they break its tenets or willingly revoke their abilities.

## Abilities

Upon becoming a Seeker, a fragment of a fragment of the Subtle Weave is embedded within their mind, granting the Seeker potent Dreamwalking abilities and unfettered access to Scrying magic. They gain all of the abilities naturally bestowed by such closeness to the Subtle Weave--that is, the ability to read the thoughts, emotions, and memories of those nearby; the ability to speak any language (barring magical languages such as Deepspeak) that those in the immediate vicinity can speak; the ability to precisely locate any individual within a 30 metre radius that is also connected to the Collective Unconscious. Additionally, Seekers are granted an eidetic memory and can freely recall all that they have ever seen, learned, or experienced while a Seeker. A Seeker that loses their powers also loses access to these memories in totality.

Seekers also gain access to a specific portion of the Collective Unconscious and the Dream which can only be accessed by the Holy Orders created by the Two-as-One. Within this dreamscape, they can communicate with one another across any distance (presuming they are asleep or in a meditative trance in front of a reflective surface), as well as communicate directly through intent rather than words. This is most often used for the often scattered Seekers to remain in contact with one another. Additionally, through this method they are also capable of directly interacting with the Chosen, who rest in the holy Tairseach.

Firinn may access the minds of Seekers much more readily than sifting through the endless stream of consciousness, allowing it to directly observe through their observations with no delay. It may also directly commune with Seekers at any point, as if they were in constant prayer**.**

## Titles

Dreambound I - All Seekers are granted access to Dreamwalking abilities.

Enhanced Memory I - Seekers gain Eidetic Memory for the duration of their Oaths, but lose access to all of those memories upon relinquishing their power.

Scrying I - Seekers of Truth gain access to Firinn’s suite of magic: Scrying (the location of people or objects across vast distances using the Collective Unconscious); Truesight (Seeing things as they truly are, without illusions or preconceptions).

Weavebound I - Seekers of Truth are living anchors of the Collective Unconscious, allowing Firinn to access their perception without delay, and naturally strengthen the Collective Unconscious around themselves.
