Did either of you ever get an answer about this? I've tried a google search, and did FIND searches of the DDAL05 PDFs and the DDAL DM's info, but can't find anything. Also, what is HSING?

"Orcs are savage raiders and pillagers with stooped postures, low foreheads, and piggish faces with prominent lower canines that resemble tusks." MM p245 (original printing) You don't OWN your books on DDB: WotC can change them any time. What do you think will happen when OneD&D comes out?
Hsing, is revealed in DDAL05-10 (part of the Storm King's Thunder set of adventures) as the male Pseudodragon familiar/companion of SEER.
I don't know if Seer's actual identity was ever revealed beyond being a powerful Spymaster. Without spoilers there are additional clues as to who she is are in DDAL05-04
As for speculation on class, etc., high level Spymasters could be...
Thanks, David, I'll have to look in those two to get details. It's strange imo that there is no reference to them for the DM in the DDAL05 DM's package!

So I came here looking for more information, but what I did find was in the Durlag's Tower and Durlag's Tomb modules (DDAL 5.8 & 5.9)
SEER. This Shou woman is a spymaster for the Lords’ Alliance. As a powerful mage and operative, she changes her appearance nearly as often as she recruits new junior agents. She always seems to know the general goings-on for an area, and the true extent of her power lies well outside of this adventure. Simply put: SEER has interests and motivations far removed from the matters that concern the characters and possibly even the Realms. She is a stickler for proper etiquette and respect, and offers exactly one admonishment before labeling someone as a lout or cretin. Quote: “Hm, yes, that is interesting. Please: go on.”
And the information from DDAL05-04: The Shou woman is SEER, head of intelligence within the Lord’s Alliance. She recognizes adventurers who have encountered her in the past and warmly introduces herself to those she has not yet met. SEER then introduces the dwarf as Emilia Marblehead. Emilia is hurt and weak, but her wounds have been well-tended. Roleplaying SEER SEER is warm and grandmotherly—offering tea and cookies to visitors. In particular, she thinks of those working on her behalf as her children/grandchildren. Occasionally, she gets a distant look in her eyes as though her attention is focused elsewhere, and she has been known to answer questions just before they’re asked. Quote: “Of course I know why you are here. The question is, do you?”
Hsing. A pseudodragon that serves as the ally of a Lords’ Alliance spymaster, codenamed SEER. He was stuck blind by Io himself (or so he claims), and though this malady is incurable he wears it as a badge of pride—as if this broken sense has somehow empowered him. Whatever the truth may be, Hsing is a font of historical facts. He prefers to spend his time curled up around someone’s shoulders, or in front of a roaring fire while atop a luxurious rug. Quote: “Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...”
Also not sure if it is related but I found only this mention of SEER in any other Realmslore sites. Would be cool if this is indeed her first identity. https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Seer
I know that some of this might be spoilers, but I need to know since I haven't bought any of the recent Adventurers League modules yet.
Who is this SEER? I know it's a title now and he (or she, I have no idea) works for someone else, but other than that I haven't the foggiest.
You can PM me with the answer if you don't want to spoil it. Thanks in advance.

Did you get an answer to this? I'm wondering too!

Nope. Still waiting on enlightenment

Very much appreciate this info. And agree that it's strange the DM doesn't get reference info.
