Editing Farseer (section)

==Overview==
For them, though, there's no time to fret about how they are trapped by their fate and beset by the hungering menace of [[Warp]] abominations—their people need their talents, so Farseers get together with other Eldar on the Path of the Seer and form [[Seer Council]]s, groups which interpret visions and act as leaders of the Eldar (in fact, they are one of the Eldar HQ choices). As the name suggests, they can see events in distant places, and even possible futures, an ability which they use to steer the Eldar in safe directions, although they [[Derp|rarely ever use it successfully]]. Their effectiveness is limited by their amplified Eldar pride, their refusal to share their knowledge with non-Eldar, and the apparent capriciousness of their actions to outside observers who might assume that they're simply untrustworthy nutjobs. As a result, the Farseers' plans keep getting mucked up by the other factions, and so at best, [[Advancing the Storyline|things remain at the status quo]].

One of the most prominent reasons for the failures of Farseers is that they tend to forget that, as [[Star Wars|Yoda]] said, "Always in motion, the future is." This means that, while the Farseers might see it is possible to accomplish some goal at a particular moment in time, the situation may have already become unwinnable by the time the Eldar take action. More importantly, it blinds them to the fact that instead of choosing from existing futures, they can try and make their own future instead of agonizing about possible scenarios that may never even happen.

As Farseers grow older, their minds become so attuned with the craftworld that their bodies begin to shut down. Eventually, they leave for the Dome of the Crystal Seers at their craftworld's core, where they crystallize completely, releasing their souls into the [[Infinity Circuit]]. The discarded body then takes root, essentially becoming a statue.

Oddly (or maybe they just know we like our elf girls), every Farseer to appear in the [[Dawn of War]] games has been female but every Farseer model [[Games Workshop]] has ever released has been male. If you're looking to have a lady in charge of your Eldar tabletop army, you'd best get converting.
