Heeder

Heeders are a key component of the Veil; they serve as surveillance and espionage specialists and operate within the provinces and expanses of Seer civilization. They are the only branch of the Veil that serve the Circle directly.

Duties
As part of a secret organization that itself must be kept hidden and whose privileges are also classified, Heeders are assigned the role of a sort of agent or spy: it is their responsibility to gather and review information about those around them, and in particular search for subversive actions (i.e., refusing to accept the Circle's knowledge, preaching against them, conspiring to overthrow or injure/kill them) amongst Seers. If these actions are present and it is known whom they are originating from, a Heeder will request a session with the Circle to report these actions so that consequential measures can be taken.

Code of Virtue
The Heeders' Code of Virtue does not so much surround the behavior of Heeders themselves, but more what is done by others - it entails the actions that can be considered subversive by other Seers, and that Heeders are instructed to report to the Circle.
 * 1) Any written/spoken conspiracy against the Circle, whether committed by an individual or a group, is to be reported and is punishable by devisioning and exile.
 * 2) Any written/spoken threats of bodily harm or killing against the Circle are to be reported and are punishable by death.
 * 3) Any bodily harm or attacks committed against a member of the Aegis are to be reported and are punishable by temporary exile.
 * 4) Any bodily harm or attacks committed against a member of the Veil are to be reported and are punishable by death.
 * 5) Any bodily harm or attacks committed against a member of the Circle are to be reported and are punishable by devisioning and exile.
 * 6) The wrongful killing of any member of the Aegis, the Veil or the Circle is to be reported and is punishable by death.
 * 7) Any persuasion, coercion, or propaganda encouraging younglings or the weak-minded to engage in subversive actions is to be reported and is punishable by devisioning and exile.

Training and levels of experience
Heeders are chosen from younglings, then tutored and disciplined in the fields of stealth, the ability to remain out of sight and away from danger, the ability to work under tension, and the ability to hide/dispose of evidence that may arouse suspicion against the Veil or the Circle. As such, their training courses consist of grueling tests of mental aptitude and problem-solving skills over several years. It is, like any other, a process of repitition and memory.

Depending on rank, a Heeder may be awarded a 'given right', which are commissioned by the Circle, and allow them certain freedoms that normal Seers do not have. There are three levels of rank that are given to Heeders according to their expertise or history with the Veil - Common Heeders, which are the basic agent, and as such, are given the basic responsibilities of one, and no given rights; Auxiliary Heeders, which serve as tutors or assistants to Common Heeders, and have more responsibilities and the given right to steal in the name of the Circle; and last, Preeminent Heeders, whom are the highest rank of Heeder and carry the most responsibility, but also have 2 given rights: the right to steal, and the right to kill (only in self-defense.)
