A Seedseer is a Padjal and are considered to be the strongest and greatest man or woman of their age. They are appoint by the eldest Elemental known as "The Great One". It is rare for more than one Seedseer to exist at a time.

The Seedseer Council usually don't have a leader, but in time of strive the Seedseer Council entrusted the leadership to Kan-E-Senna, until the danger is passed[1].

Leaders

Ruling Body

The Seedseer council is a forum for Hearers to share what they have learned from the Elementals and decide on matters of state. They are overseen by the Seedseers. In effect, the Council is the highest power in the land, and the arbiter of Gridanian law.

Additional Information

Hearers are distinguishable by their purple robes and hats, and can be found all over the Black Shroud.

While decisions are put to a vote, policies sometimes reflect the will of the Elementals more strongly than the opinions of the Hearers. Following the Seventh Umbral Calamity, this system has changed. Faced with the challenges of the Garlean Empire and rebuilding, Gridania could scarcely afford the time spent in debate. Therefore Kan-E-Senna was appointed leader[2].
