Varovian Order of Seers

The Varovian Order of Seers, or simply Seers, was a political and military faction which emerged amid a schism in the Varovian Council over how the Varovian people should handle the powerful Sacred Rod located on Varovia. The Seers believed that the Tolemites, who brought the Sacred Rod to Varovia and sealed it with arcane trickery within a temple, did so to hide it from the galaxy. They felt that uncovering it would be dangerous and may corrupt the Varovian people. Others in the council, who would become the Prophets, believed the Sacred Rod was a gift to be accessed by those worthy of its power and should be weaponized. When the schism led to the Varovian Civil War, the Seers maintained their position until a stalemate was achieved.

Decades into the war, the Seers were led by Torchbearer Beanna. During Beanna's leadership, the Seers were visited by a Republic Pathfinder team led by Jedi Master Atticus Cale, who were in search of evidence of a missing colleague's whereabouts. The Seers brokered a deal with the Prophets to allow Cale and his team to travel to the temple to remove the Sacred Rod from Varovia.

The war came to a close following Cale's apparent destruction of the Sacred Rod, and the Seers and Prophets reorganized into the nation of United Varovia. A political entity within United Varovia known as the Grand Seers persisted until at least 228 BBY.
