The Mark of the Seeker

"In times of great need, the High Matriarchs may anoint a Seeker – a worthy brave sent forth to accomplish a great purpose."

―Teersa

The rank of Seeker is a special title among the people of the Nora tribe.

Role

Unlike other members of the tribe, Seekers are allowed to leave and return to the Sacred Lands as needed, as well as enter the ruins of the Old Ones. Seekers may be chosen during times of peace to serve as diplomats, or during times of conflict in order to drive enemies away from forbidden locations.

Attainment

The Seeker face paint in Horizon Zero Dawn.

A Seeker must be personally selected by a Matriarch, and can be recognized by a small charm, known as the Mark of the Seeker, which they carry on their person. There is also a face paint for Seekers. Notably, in Horizon Forbidden West, the paint used is more neon in color than other Nora face paint.
