Mm. There are a tribe of nomadic oral historians that often get lumped in with gypsies. Among themselves and those who know them, they're Speakers, and they carry with them oral histories of the centuries. They also carry prophecies with them, including some that have reached them not from the past, but from the future, transmitted to them through magical means.

I want to ensure we're dealing with predictions of the past, not future knowledge.
