Seers of the Throne

The Seers of the Throne are a magical conspiracy. According to the orders, the Seers see themselves as servants of the Exarchs, the mages who conquered the Supernal Realms and now dictate the laws and shape of reality. The Seers reason that the Exarchs must fear the remaining mages, because they might in time become powerful enough to make another attempt to topple them from their thrones, as the Oracles did before. Instead of siding with the mages fighting for freedom from the Exarch's edicts, however, the Seers decided to side with the biggest bully on the playground and attempt to suppress or gain control over any magic that might grow to endanger their chosen lords. In effect, the Seers don't believe they have a chance of standing against the Exarchs, and so help them out of a desire for reward. It is unclear, however, if there actually is such a reward besides the obvious benefits of using magic to gain a position of prestige and power. After all, the Exarchs don't communicate with their self-styled servants except by visions that might just as well be the product of power-mad minds.
