Shadowseers are famously the only psykers permitted to openly travel within [[Commorragh]], where, while distrusted, many of them have been found in the war councils of [[Archons]], [[Succubi]], and [[Haemonculi]].{{Fn|3}}
All '''Shadowseers''' are trained by other Shadowseers and with their mentors visit the [[Shadow Keep]], a location in the webway known onloy to Shadowseers rumored to be on the ancient Eldar Homeworld, hidden within the [[Black Library]], or the hidden mystic heart of the [[Webway]] where [[Cegorach|The Laughing God]] yet lives. Whatever the truth is, Shadowseers speak of it to no one.{{Fn|13}}
===High Warlock===
The '''High Warlock''', {{Fn|10}} known as the Narrator and Grand Storyteller, and to the [[Eldar Linguistics|Eldar]] as ''ardathair''{{Fn|10}} or ''ardathairathesdan''{{Fn|15}}, is a senior Shadowseer equiped with a [[Power Fist|Power Glove]]{{Fn|12}} who leads the masques' Shadowseers when [[Cegorach]] calls for such a group. In performance, the High Warlock coordinates the grenade barrages of those under it's command or otherwise acts independently.{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|11a}} ==Equipment==Shadowseers cover their faces with smooth opaque black masks which signify their role as the narrator, and not as a member of the story itself.{{Fn|15}} Every Shadowseer carries a [[Miststave]] — a weapon that directs their mental forces to crush the enemy's armour, flesh, and bones. They are also frequently equipped with a ''Creidann'' [[Pack Grenade Launcher]].{{Fn|5a}} Shadowseers sometimes travel with familiars including the [[Gyrinx]]{{Fn|10}} or the psychic-puppet [[Benathai]]{{Fn|12}}
