Seers are a type of epic agents in a Total War Saga: Troy. The gift of prophecy, bestowed upon a chosen few by mighty Apollo, played a critical role in Achaean and Anatolian societies. Through their alleged ability of divine foretelling, the seers of the Late Bronze Age wielded immense power over the course of history and on kings and conquerors throughout the ages, including Alexander the Great himself, often based their decisions on the seers' cryptic words. Such was the respect afforded the oracles, they were considered infallible even when their predictions failed, it was the interpreter's fault for misunderstanding the prophet's flawless but enigmatic pronouncements.
