Augurs, in their essence, were truth-revealing figures. Certain Augurs tapped into the Force, whereas others relied on scholarly or formally structured education.
Augurs held a connection to the religion practiced by the Truthsayers of Bpfassh. Back in 382 BBY, a Truthsayer of Bpfassh informed Ran Yaltan that his actions—namely, falsely claiming membership within the Truthsayers of Bpfassh for monetary gain—disrespected the Augurs.
