Seekers are one of many spirits that call the Sanctuary of Ardour home. Seekers are known to venture off on long quests in search of rare items and most curiously, lost souls. Due to their wondering nature most do not have a permanent home, and instead, will make due within hollowed-out tree stumps, caves, and abandoned structures.

Seekers have been known to carry lost souls within the little bags or pouches they keep on them at all times. Most Seekers will guide these souls back to their vessels but on rare occasions, some have been known to hoard and even sell them for a profit.

Seekers are independent and driven by a deep wanderlust and seldom settle in one place. Their strong sense of exploration often leads them to venture into towns together, seeking a night's rest before resuming their journeys.

Despite their independent nature, it's not unusual for some Seekers to form guilds or groups, improving their effectiveness in adventuring. These groups may also become a refuge for other adventurous spirits.

The reason for a Seeker's drive to adventure is currently unknown, however, what is known is that Seekers have an uncanny knack for finding lost souls. These souls could've belonged to any creature, once a Seeker stumbles upon one, they will often coax it into its Spiritpouch for safekeeping.

While many Seekers engage in communicating with lost souls to aid in finding desired locations or guiding them back to their vessels, a darker motive may show in some cases. Some Seekers have gained notoriety for hoarding these lost souls, either for the acquisition of magical power or for selling them to shady individuals for significant profit.

The delicate task of locating and interacting with lost souls demands a keen sense of caution from Seekers. Not all souls are benevolent; some carry inherent hostility that poses a significant threat. There have been instances where these sinister souls, if approached too closely, can possess a Seeker's body. Due to this ever-present and unpredictable danger, Seekers always carry an Auricordia to ward off evil souls and spirits

Possession

In the unfortunate event of a Seeker falling prey to possession by an evil spirit, either through the loss of an Auricordia or a failed exorcism attempt, a terrible internal struggle ensues where a Seeker's soul is forced to battle the evil intruder.

Seeking help promptly is crucial, as the consequences of failure are dire. Should the Seeker succumb entirely to possession, their very soul faces consumption by the malevolent force, resulting in a profound loss of identity and self.

Damaged or Lost Auricordia

If a Seeker's Auricordia becomes lost or damaged, the wisest course of action is for the Seeker to retreat to a secure village or town. There, they can undertake the crucial task of repairing or crafting a new Auricordia. The significance of the Auricordia extends beyond repelling malevolent souls and spirits. It serves as a safeguard for the Seeker's own fickle spirit, preventing it from inadvertently escaping its handcrafted vessel.
