Asuryani Path - Farseers: Farseers are the most powerful of the Aeldari psykers who were once Warlocks but have become lost upon the Path of the Seer forever in the same way as the Exarchs are wed forever to the Path of the Warrior.A council of the most powerful Seers generally governs a craftworld. Farseers possess a diversity of psychic specialities with divination being the most common skill. There are two other types of Asuryani Seers: Warlocks and Spiritseers.Warlocks are Seers who follow the Path of the Seer but have not been lost to it, and have previously travelled the Path of the Warrior. They use their powers to assist other Asuryani in battle, shielding them from harm and attacking their enemies. Spiritseers are Seers who specialise in communication with the dead; unsurprisingly they are most prevalent within the Iyanden craftworld and sometimes lead squads of Wraithguard in combat.The role of the Farseer in Asuryani society is to look into the future and try and discern the best course for the Aeldari to take. This is done through the casting of Rune Stones, fragments of wraithbone and other psychosensitive materials that react to the convoluted, probabilistic skeins of space-time.By reading the throw of these stones, the Farseers can often determine what will be the most beneficial course of action, though it is rare that they can discern true results any great distance into the future.On occasion, a powerful Farseer will receive a portent of some calamitous event, and be able to steer the Aeldari away from disaster and doom. With so few Aeldari remaining, the Farseers attempt to preserve every Aeldari life they can.However, this ability to see the future and react upon what is seen has caused the Aeldari to be distrusted by other races. Occasionally, a Farseer will see that by attacking a certain world, fleet or base, Aeldari lives will be somehow saved from a future calamitous event; Aeldari forces will then suddenly attack unannounced, and quickly withdraw as soon as their goal has been accomplished.This, along with the Aeldari tendency to view all other intelligent species as inferior, has led other sentient species to deem them as fickle, aloof and untrustworthy.Also, the most powerful Farseers have even shown the ability to steer future events so that other races fight each other rather than the Aeldari -- one of the greatest examples being when the famed Farseer Eldrad Ulthran of Ulthwé (a craftworld which places greater emphasis on the Path of the Seer) secretly facilitated the rise of an obscure Ork Warlord named Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka, who would eventually become a significant enemy of the Imperium of Man.The Farseers lead in times of war as well as peace. On the battlefield their powers of precognition allow them to foresee the enemy's attacks and movements and warn their comrades against imminent changes on the field of battle.While less capable of foreseeing events in such harried conditions, the Warlocks, especially those who have already spent time as an Aspect Warrior, will often serve as officers in battle, leading units of other Aeldari and helping to coordinate the overall battle, as well as to lend support utilising their considerable psychic powers.As many Farseers age however, their bodies slowly turn into a form of psychically active crystal, a transformation caused by their constant exposure to the chaotic energies of the Warp. When the time has come for this transformation to be completed, they go to the Dome of Crystal Seers that is present within every craftworld and join the crystalline bodies of the Farseers that came before them.
