Imperial Seer

The Imperial Seer is an Imperial title created by the Imperial Senate in autumn 379YE. It is appointed through the Imperial Conclave.

Responsibilities

The Imperial Seer is responsible for coordinating the use of divination magic by the magicians of the Empire.

The Seer is responsible for coordinating the use of divination magic by Imperial magicians. While this most obviously involves ensuring that the Empire is making the best use of rituals such as Eyes of the Sun and Moon, The Eye of the High Places, and Dreams in the Witch House, the title has potentially broader implications. "Divination magic" would also cover the use of rituals such as the potentially valuable visions provided by Signs and Portents, Whispering Shadow Courtiers, or the consumption of Goosewhisper Infusion. It might also cover gathering historical information of note through Skein of Years, communion with eternals through powers such as Swim Leviathan's Depth or Clear Counsel of the Everflowing River, and the coordination of magicians who work with the magistrates and Imperial militia to uncover information vital to law enforcement.

The responsibilities and powers of the Imperial Seer have obvious overlap with those of the Warmage and the Imperial Magus, and it remains to be seen how these three titles will interact.
