About this class
The Seeker is a person who is investigating the secrets of the ancient world. There is a long history fraught with uncertainty, and the Seeker aims to clear the mysteries once, and for all. Investigating ancient sites, artifacts, beliefs, and tomes, they have uncovered some of the truth, but are always excited to learn more. The secrets the ancient world holds could assist in solving some modern day problems, or at least give us a better understanding.
