Stargazer

Star Readers (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
Vincent Vollachia has said that the purpose of Star Readers are for the wellbeing of Vollachia, not for the emperor themselves. Based on Ubilk's own description, they were able to tell the future from seeing the “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 Star Readers as pawns of the Observers. The Star Readers cannot be eliminated, because once a Star Reader is killed, there are countless people who can become new Star Readers, and it is unknown the standard of Observers for choosing new Star Readers. Thus, unless one is able to kill everyone inside Vollachia, it is impossible to eliminate the Star Readers. In addition, the Kingdom of Lugunica's Dragon History Tablet has been compared to Vollachia's Star Readers due to their similar purposes.

The knowledge of Star Readers 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". As noted by Olbart Dunkelkenn, some Star Readers can be different from one another. Just like the fundamental differences between Taritta and Ubilk, their knowledge is not shared. Currently, there are at least 27 Star Readers, though with the exception of Ubilk, nothing about any of them is known.

Commandments
The Star Readers 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 Star Readers. For Ubilk, it is mostly through dreams. When a person became a Star Reader, 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 Star Readers to resist their Commandment, and there will be cases where multiple Star Readers 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.

Another thing of note is that the purposes of commandments may not necessarily 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 minimize the damage afterwards.
