Stargazer

Stargazers (星詠み, Hoshiyomi) are people in the Sacred Vollachia Empire who have the ability to peer into the future. They exist to preserve Vollachia's continued existence.

Information
According to Ubilk, other countries have corresponding Stargazers as well. Vincent Vollachia has said that the purpose of Stargazers is for the wellbeing of Vollachia, not for the emperor themselves. Based on Ubilk's own description, they were able to tell the future from the observation of "stars", otherwise known as the Observers, metaphysical beings claimed to observe the world from outside and manipulate every living thing. For this reason, Vincent calls refer to Stargazers as pawns of the Observers. The Stargazers cannot be eliminated, because once a Stargazer is killed, there are countless people who can become new Stargazers, and it is unknown the standard of Observers for choosing new Stargazers. Thus, unless one is able to kill everyone inside Vollachia, it is impossible to eliminate the Stargazers. In addition, the Kingdom of Lugunica's Dragon History Tablet has been compared to Vollachia's Stargazers due to their similar purposes.

The knowledge of Stargazers are shared between each other. One example is that Mariuli knows the song and knowledge she couldn't know about. Another method for them to gain knowledge is through the "stars". Although the Stargazers experienced brainwashing, they still have their differences. Just like the fundamental differences between Taritta and Ubilk, their knowledge is not shared.

Commandments
The Stargazers take their instructions from a commandment passed down to them by the Observers. A commandment is often referred to as fate itself, and is regarded by many as unchangeable fate, and this has been emphasized by Ubilk many times. The method of obtaining commandments is different between Stargazers. For Ubilk, it is mostly through dreams. When a person became a Stargazer, it will become a completely different people and a puppet that only lives to fulfill their commandment until they die. Based on Vincent's knowledge, it's hard for the ''Stargazers to resist their Commandment, and there will be cases where multiple Stargazers share the same commandment. Fortunately, there is only one Commandment at a time, and no new commandment is passed down before the previous one is fulfilled. One thing worth mentioning is that the Commandment does not show people of little significance, which is probably because Observers won't notice people like this.

Another thing of note is that the purposes of Commandments may not necessaarily align with each other, and may even contradict with each other. One example is that the Commandment of Mariuli is to kill the "Black-haired and black-eyed traveler" to stop the Great Disaster from happening, while the Commandment of Ubilk is to kill "Vincent Vollachia" to make the Great Disaster happen and minimizethe damage afterwards. This indicates that even among the Observers themselves, they may not necessarily agree with each other. A more direct evidence is from Ubilk where he said the problem of Lugunica is outside of his responsibility. These are all strong evidences that the Observers behind Stargazers are of different factions.

Trivia

 * There are discrepancies regarding whether or not Taritta Shudrak is a Stargazer. Ubilk has previously hinted that she may be one. and it is known he doesn't tell lies However, Vincent later refutes this. If she is a Stargazer, then she is a very special type which has her free will but cannot "gaze" into the "stars". She inherited her commandment from her soul sister, Mariuli Shudrak, rather than getting it directly from the Observers.
