foreseers
Those anticipating outcomes
Foreseers are people who foresee—those who anticipate or predict what will happen.
The term suggests perception of future events, whether through supernatural vision, analytical insight, or careful planning: The foreseers warned of economic collapse.
It appears more often in literary or speculative contexts than everyday speech.
