As one of the principal architects of modern farsight warfare I am able to
field questions of the nature 'what is the point of farsight if not to
rob shops'. Well you must first consider that at the time this intruiging
skillset was made into the way it functions now, shop stalls were not
physical locations one could simply enter or focus into. Farsight has
never been conceived as a tool to rob cities, the notion of such shows an
extreme narrow mindedness and lack of empathy with what the Seers are
actually about.
They are not tools of their city, they are a profession blessed with
abilities beyond the reckoning or power to control of others. The art of
fighting with farsight has all but been lost and what is left has been
replaced with coalesced stones. Seers no longer dwell brooding in their
towers meddling and interfering with all those that enter the realm of
their palantir's control but instead die like lemmings trying to fight
a hopeless cause for their city. Right now even if a Seer controls the
entire land with their seeing stone they will never get the opportunity
to stand unattacked at their stone for more than a few seconds to actually
make use of that domination.
This treaty is aimed at saving the Seers as a profession, it is not biased
towards any one Seer guild in particular. This treaty can only work if all
understand that using farsight to rob stalls is counterproductive on almost
every front and many have spilled their blood needlessly over a battle
that should not be. I have no problem with spilling blood, but I do have a
problem that in all this a very precious skill that Avalon can boast as
being truely inspired and original has been totally lost and misused.
