In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000 the farseers are the psychic leaders of the eldar. Farseers are among the most potent psykers in the galaxy, their prodigious powers allow them to discern the future. By casting their runes, they can travel the tangled skeins of probability to divine which course of action should be taken. This long sightedness is what has led small minded humans to label the Eldar as an arbitrary and capricious force in the universe.
On the battlefield the psychic powers employed by the Farseers have myriad differing effects; they have the ability to predict the movements of enemy troops, use psychic blasts to slaughter the enemy and directly destroy the minds of even the most strong willed opponent.
In times of peace, rare as they may be for the Eldar, farseers serve as political leaders, using their predictive abilities to guide the day to day activities of their craftworlds in order to safeguard their racial survival.
Notable farseers:
-Farseer Macha
-Farseer Taldeer
-Eldrad Ulthran
