An early term for a practitioner of Sorcery.

Since this term was in use before The Empire and the creation of the Orb, we can assume the shamans were in fact users of Elder Sorcery.

It is implied that a shaman served as a priest and counsellor for their tribe (later these tribes became the Dragaeran Houses).

At the time, a shaman was distinct from a warrior, only Drien was known to have been both.
