The Disir was the highest and most sacred court of the Old Religion, the very mouthpiece of the Triple Goddess. Three women were chosen at birth to be trained as seers and soothsayers and their only task was to interpret the word of the Goddess. When they made their judgement, their word was final. Each of them carried a magical staff, forged using powerful sorcery. One of the Disir saw Merlin use magic.
