Changes: Augurs

Revision as of 07:26, 13 March 2021

The Augurs are a group of fourteen Martial holy men and women. They are believed to be immortal and are revered as advisors and seers.^[1]

Description

The Augurs are pale and grotesque in appearance, with jet black irises surrounded by vivid red. They are seen by the Martials as wielders of a mysterious magic. Martials believe that the Augurs' power comes from being possessed by the spirits of the dead. Masks in particular revere the Augurs. Augurs decide which Martial children will attend Blackcliff Academy. Many of the Empire's leaders make a yearly pilgrimage to the Augurs' mountain lair seeking counsel on matters of state.^[2] Augurs can read minds, influence an empire, and heal at will. They "dream the future: all outcomes, all possibilities."^[3]

The Augurs foretell the destines of each of the Aspirants. They also use their magic to protect Laia from Marcus Farrar's arrow during the Fourth Trial. Then they get her to the Resistance.
