Sungazers

Sungazers are a small group of Hedge Wizards who have purposefully stared at the sun in order to make themselves blind. In doing this they believe they will be able to see things that are not of this mortal world more clearly, able to see problems of the heart and of the soul as well as more supernatural causes.

Most Sungazers wait until they are old to undertake the ritual and once their life has gone past its prime they can get a younger Sungazer to help them travel around as they continue their normal Hedge Wizard duties, only blind.

The custom is supposedly something that originated in the Northern Forests. Certain creatures were able to hypnotise and control those they had eye contact with, some Hedge Wizards decided to confront the creatures without sight and ever since the small group has been dedicated to following in their footsteps should the threat arise again.
