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.

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

Story

Before Kingdom Hearts χ

According to 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 gifted five of his disciples copy of the Book of Prophecies, which informed them of the event that would doom the world, and assigned specific roles for them to follow in preparation for the event. 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.

Kingdom Hearts χ

The Foretellers continue to diligently lead their Unions and uphold their roles assigned to them the Master of Masters after his disappearance. Over time, the Foretellers notice Keyblade wielders utilizing bangles that provides them the power to collect dark energy, though they decide that using the bangles was acceptable for their Union members. One day, Foreteller Ira finds a Nightmare Chirithy snooping around the Foretellers' Chamber, suggesting that someone has submitted to darkness and a traitor is present. This eventually resulted in tension among the Foretellers, as they are unable to discern the traitor. Foreteller Aced convinces Foreteller Gula to form an alliance with him to combat the impending darkness while Ira tries to identify the traitor. As forming alliances between Unions is forbidden by the Master of Masters, Foreteller Invi prompts Gula to dissolve his alliance with Aced, causing Aced to clash her out in retribution.

After learning that Gula is in possession of the Lost Page from the Book of Prophecies, which details the presence of a traitor amongst the Foretellers, Aced strikes Gula down, but Ava saves the latter's life. Aced is then accosted by Ira, but the two reconcile. Ira then seeks out Gula in an attempt to see the Lost Page. He is sent away by Ava, who is tending to Gula's wounds. Gula reveals his intention to summon Kingdom Hearts in order to lure the Master of Masters back to Daybreak Town, and Ava fails in her attempts to dissuade him from doing so.

Realizing conflict between the Unions is inevitable, Ava acts in accordance with her role and gathers Keyblade wielders to join a separate faction called the Dandelions, who are ordered to avoid the Keyblade War in favor of going to a new world to ensure the future of the light.

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.

Abilities

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, a Gazing Eye 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 goat, but features a second Gazing Eye where the Foretellers' Keyblades have heart icons.
