History

Introduced: 2014

The Seer is the original information role and has been part of werewolv.es since the very first games. A single nightly check that reads as wolf or not-wolf, it anchors the whole village information economy: every other investigative role is balanced relative to how much the Seer can learn and how loudly it can claim.
