Ah; I was thinking of socerors in a somewhat weaker sense, I confess,
then. Perhaps the sort of individuals I was touting are better
regarded as 'wizards of a certain philosophical attitude', if you
want to put in in such terms.

Aren't they somewhat contractually obliged to pretty much only
ante-date back to Hrestol? Whereas the Rokari seem to have yet
more antique ambitions in that regard... In particular regards
to caste tradition, that is: all but the most barking of Rokari
must accept Hrestol as a prophet, but that doesn't stop them
rejecting post-Hrestol interpretations that others accept.
Cheers,
Alex.
