Seers

The Seers were a group of mages who joined Cabirus in The Stygian Abyss, creating their rooms, libraries and great hall on the 6th level. Their former abode is now in ruins.

Lore

On the southern tip of Verity Isle, the town of Moonglow was founded by the mages of Britannia as a settlement embodying the virtue of Honesty. The wizards of this town were among the first to volunteer to be colonists, and an entire contingent of mages joined me on our first voyage to Avatar Isle. Our magic-users have formed their own Order of Magic, and refer to themselves as the Ancient Illuminated Seers of the Moonstone. They have an especially close relationship with the Mountain-Folk - it was the mountaineers who carved out the seers' living chambers from the rock walls of the chasm.

The seers have, of necessity, chosen to specialize in those magics most useful in our subterranean abode - spells of light, food and comfort. They also conduct many magical experiments, and hope to find new spell reagents among the materials which occur naturally in the Abyss. The seers have asked our explorers to bring back samples of all that they find. (The seers do not speak directly to me of their matters, but I have overheard them on occasion. While the Eight Virtues may have prompted some of the mages to travel here, I believe that most came for the chance to conduct experiments. It is said that the Great Abyss is unique in all of Britannia, because the barrier between dimensions is especially thin here. - Corby)

- from Memoirs of Sir Cabirus (Ultima Underworld)

"The Hivemind well recall the arrival of the magic-users of the last age, or the “Ancient Illuminated Seers of the Moonstone,” as they called themselves. The Hivemind watched as the seers conjured spells of light, food, and comfort, then established their own library of arcane knowledge. The Hivemind observed as the Seer society fell in the last eruption, betrayed by its most potent member. Such is clear: Turning back Typhon will take more than might."""""""""""""""

"While reading ancient writings in the ruins of the Seers' library, I found a curious passage… one that spoke of Cabirus as a person, a man of flesh and bone. He once lived in the Abyss, and judging by the records, he was as… ‘demanding…' as he is now.
Whatever his aims, they were laid low… It seems, by their accounts, the Seers witnessed his death, but by whose hands, they do not know - only that they did not mourn his passing and saw him an equal threat to the slumbering terrors in The Abyss."""""""""""""""
