Foreteller

Oh no! The water! I'm in big trouble if I don't fetch it!

This article requires cleanup or improvement. Please help out by editing this page. Please see the Manual of Style and editing help before getting started. Issues: Story material should only include info on them as a group, poss. material on when they are variable, but not info on when a specific Foreteller does something; Story material needs to be much more concise and to the point, not rephrasing of whole conversations -- take a look at the journal entries summarizing the events of a world in KH1 and KH2; finally, story material should be what the Foretellers are doing, not describing an entire scene that happens to contain a Foreteller.

Template:Enemy The Foretellers are a group of Keyblade Masters that appears Kingdom Hearts χ and consists of Invi, Gula, Ira, Aced, and Ava. Together, the Foretellers lead the five Unions and protect the worlds from darkness.

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts χ

According to the Player's Chirithy, the five Foretellers and one other Keyblade wielder were the apprentices of his creator, the "Master of Masters." Shortly before he disappeared, the Master of Masters assigned his disciples new names and gifted five of them with a tome from the Book of Prophecies, which taught them of the event that would doom the world. In an attempt to avert this coming crisis, the Foretellers established Unions to battle the darkness and used the Book of Prophecies to draw power from the future in the form of Medals. Mission 114

Kingdom Hearts χ

Shortly after the Player arrives in Daybreak Town, the Foreteller of their chosen Union assigns a Chirithy to assist them and explain the current situation. Mission 1: Prologue

This information is based on alternate scenes or materials and is not considered canon within the overall plot of the series.

In Kingdom Hearts χ, the Player is attacked by a Darkside upon arrival, but their Foreteller shows up in person to chase the Darkside back through its corridor of darkness, leaving behind the Chirithy. Template:Canonend

After the Player learns to wield the Keyblade with help from Chirithy, the Foreteller appears from a lane between. They explain the need to defeat Heartless and collect Lux, while noting that there is help in the form of their Union. As if to illustrate this point, another Darkside appears but is quickly dispatched by arriving members of the Union. Before leaving once again, the Foreteller warns that some are seeking to collect Lux out of greed. They entreat the Player to help root out the darkness. Mission 3: Combat 102

As the Player continues to defeat Heartless and retrieve Lux, their Chirithy makes regular reports on their progress to the Foreteller, who occasionally assigns the Player tests of skill in response.

After the Player defeats the Darkball in Agrabah and returns to Daybreak Town, Chirithy decides to inform the Player of the history of the Foretellers, the goals of the Unions, and the origins of the Medals, but reminds the Player that each Foreteller has their own reason for collecting Lux. Mission 114

Following the demise of Chirithy (2), the Foreteller informs Chirithy that despite the Unions' best efforts, darkness continues to grow in power, leading Chirithy to speculate that there is a traitor among the Foretellers.

Some time later, Chirithy comes to the Player with a new assignment from the Foreteller: they must hunt down Heartless within the corridors of darkness themselves, with only a set of Beads of Light to survive exposure to the darkness. After the Player successfully completes this task, Chirithy reports it to the Foreteller, but questions the wisdom of assigning such a dangerous mission. The Foreteller explains that the darkness continues to spread, unabated, and that the Unions must grow as much as possible and develop a resistance to the darkness in order to survive.

Appearance

The Foretellers wear masks representing the animals that serve as the emblems of their Unions, as well as hooded cloaks and shirts fastened with a sash. The sleeves of these shirts extend just beyond the wrist.

Each Foreteller's name is derived from the Latin word for one of the seven deadly sins, and all but one of them use the name associated with their animal motif in the Ancrene Wisse.

Abilties

The Foretellers are Keyblade Masters who wield unique Keyblades with distinctive elemental and chromatic themes. Each Foreteller's Keyblade has an etching of their Union's totem animal on its hilt, an eye of darkness on its keychain token, a heart icon similar to Terra's Mark near its teeth, and a handle resembling a Doric column; these shared traits are similar to those of Master Xehanort's Keyblade, which has a black, demonic theme and an etching of a horned lion, but features a second eye of darkness where the Foretellers' Keyblades have heart icons.
