The **Avgurs** are a subspecies of the Dreviavilas, who are known for their proficiency in magic and their ability to see the past, present and the future, and also for the fracturing of their minds that this ability causes them.

## History

The Avgurs are a subspecies of the Dreviavilas, branching off of them during the Invasion of the Golden Forest. The Dreviavilas lived peacefully inside the Golden Forest, their Goddess Drevphaea's Immaterial realm, until the Birth of Slaanesh.

The Birth of Slaanesh ripped a hole in the Veil that separated the Golden Forest from the rest of the Immaterium, allowing Chaos to finally enter it. During the ensuing chaos, the Gods of Chaos managed to gain a foothold on the souls of about one fifth of the Dreviavilas. They caused them various mutations, as Chaos is known to do. They didn't manage to fully corrupt many of them though, Drevphaea, as the Goddess of Warding was able to expunge Chaos' taint from the souls of those of the Dreviavilas who did not give up and continued to battle the vile presence on their souls.

These Dreviavilas became 5 subspecies which are now collectively known as the **Ochystenas**, which means the Cleansed/Purified. However, even though Chaos was expunged from their souls, its various mutations remained, as well as a lessened version of the powers they received. One of these subspecies are the Avgurs, who are those who are or are descendant of those who where corrupted by Tzeentch.

## Culture

In Dreviavilan society, an Avgur's main job is the interpretation of the glimpses of the past, the present and the future that they see, usually so they can help help guide Wyld Hunts to its prey and to steer it clear of any dangers. The second most common role they perform is as sorcerers, their previous connection to the God of Sorcery making them very adept at it.

Due to the usual deranged nature of their state of mind, they are usually also accompanied by another Dreviavila, whether it be one of the baseline Dreviavilas, or from any subspecies that is not Avgurian. Their job is to interpret the words of an Avgur, their insanity making them incapable of not speaking in some form of a riddle.

It should be noted that an Avgur understands the speech of fellow Dreviavilas perfectly, as well as the riddles of fellow Avgurs, they are simply physically incapable of not communicating in riddles, whether they be spoken, written, or any other form of communication, their broken psyche makes it impossible.

## Psychic powers

**Avgurism**

The main psychic ability that the Avgurs have is their ability to see the past, present and the future. These glimpses usually only happen while they sleep, where they receive these visions in their dreams. What they see is almost always completely random, only were skilled Avgurs have any bit of control over what they see. It also makes sleep something that the Avgurs do not like, as it is rarely pleasant and relaxing.

Taking all this in, their sight may be seen as rather underwhelming, there is however one advantage that no other individuals who can see the future, whether they be Eldar Farseers or Tzeentchian cultists have. Whatever they see is always accurate, if not altered by the actions of the one who saw them in some way.

The vision could be hard to decipher, or completely incomprehensible, but it is always accurate of future events. The three major obstacles are the random nature of their visions, the need to decipher them and then also the need to decipher what the Avgur who saw them wants to say.

**Combat Avgurism**

Is a very hard ability to learn, but if learnt can be a major boom on the battlefield. Avgurs of sufficient skill can manage to partially control their visions, even being able to see them while not asleep. There is once again a downside, these directed visions only show the events that will happen at most 2 minutes into the future, so the ability is largely useless for seeing the future.

It is very useful in combat, as it allows one to see the actions their opponent will take well in advance and adjust accordingly.

**Dreviavilan spells**

Beyond these abilities unique to Avgurs, they can also easily cast any normal Dreviavilan spells. In fact, they are usually better at them than normal Dreviavilas, being able to cast the same spells for a lesser cost.

## Physiology

Because Avgurs are a subspecies of the Dreviavilas, their physiology is generally very similar, if not the same to the normal Dreviavilan physiology.

The Differences start with the eyes, one of them being the number of eyes. Avgurs can have from one to three extra eyes, the other difference is the colour of their irises. Their irises are entirely white and glow a golden colour.

Besides the eyes, the other differences are that they can grow feathers on their arms, hair made out of feathers and can also have feathered wings, which can number from one to three pairs.

## Notable Figures

### Vekoslava Triglava

Vekoslava Triglava is an Avgur who is also a Soul Amalgam, meaning that her soul is a combination of previously independent souls, which became one. Before undergoing the procedure which turned her into a Soul Amalgam, she was a triplet of sisters.

Vekoslava is currently under the employ of the Rogue Trader Anastella Seras Sanniares, serving as her bodyguard. Anastella hired her before she became a Rogue Trader, being hired while she was an Inquisitor of Ordo Malleus.

She is simultaneously in control of three distinct bodies - the bodies which were previously the triplets. Because of her being a Soul Amalgam, she also has a larger reservoir of psychic energies, making her a formidable psychic opponent. That is not all though, her three bodies always act in perfect synchronicity, allowing her to overwhelm her opponents. On top of that, she sees clearer glimpses of the future, the present and the past than other Avgurs, since she has the combined future-sight of three individuals.
