 What you need to know about Black Seers

The Black Seers are a major religious- magical cult organisation.  The Seers practice arcane magical activities and are rumoured to possess great secrets about the unseen world.

The Seers prefer to meddle in the affairs of others by magic, spies and murder; however their cultists are trained in military affairs - including arcane unarmed fighting techniques.  Lower ranking seers also fight with daggers, molten metal and bronze disruptive horns.

Seers are dressed in clothes of vaguely Arabic-Indian style, often in brown and green robes for lower ranks black for higher - turbans and sandals were worn by most seers.  Seers could summon demonic entities from the beyond and hurl magic, especially explosive clouds, at the enemy in artillery style.

Many human nations end up fighting on behalf of the Seers without ever understanding the deep reasons for the military actions.

Special Rules

If the optional character types are not being used then substitute Wizard for planar wizard.  Black Seers are masters at gleaning information by covert means, if the optional scouting rules are used, they may buy scouting factors at half the normal cost.  Any “Blast” spells cast by a wizard are +1 to damage.  The Black Seers use drug crazed rabble to disrupt the enemy, as such, they are expendable and so any demoralised or destroyed rabble do NOT count toward victory each turn.  Rabble can be jugganaughted.
