Tahu Sagewind is a powerful tauren seer[3] and the founder of the Seers, an order of tauren priests who revere the wisdom of the Earthmother as illuminated by the Light of the sun god An'she.
Background
Wrath of the Lich King
During the war against the Lich King, in the Elder Rise of Thunder Bluff, Tahu and his friend Aponi Brightmane started to ponder upon the nature of the Earth Mother and how tauren have been druids since the start of time. However, all they knew about druidism was from the teachings of the night elves, which are creatures of the night. The other eye of the Earth Mother, An'she - the sun - was however completely forgotten. The pair concluded that the night elves, through their ties to tauren druids, passed on their cultural prejudice against the sun to their tauren students. As Tahu realized this he pondered what could happen should tauren start to harness the power of the sun granted by the second eye of the Earth Mother. It was this small realization that set in motion the genesis of the tauren priests and paladin order. In time, Aponi abandoned her warrior ways and became the first tauren paladin in an order now known as the Sunwalkers, while Tahu ended up abandoning his druidic path and became the first tauren priest.[2][4]
Cataclysm
Following the Cataclysm, the priesthood known as the Seers was officially created and Tahu became a priest trainer, instructing young tauren seers.
Legion
During the third invasion of the Burning Legion, after Dalaran relocated above the Broken Isles, Tahu Sagewind could be seen accompanied by Orik Trueheart. The dwarf paladin had asked the Sunwalkers to aid him in his quest to locate the Truthguard, and it was Tahu who offered him to use his ability to speak with the long departed during their search, following a vrykul saga.[5] As such, Orik and Tahu went to Shield Hill in the Howling Fjord.[6] There, Tahu attuned his stone to the scroll Orik brought and had the paladin adventurer search the graves, looking for Gorvold Ironbrow with the Aura Stone. When they found Gorvold's grave, Tahu conducted a ritual that summoned the spirit and cleansed him, and once Orik received the information he needed, Tahu returned to the Netherlight Temple to inform the Conclave of their success.[3]
The War Within
Following the destruction of Dalaran, Tahu accompanied the Horde forces that traveled to the Isle of Dorn to aid in the war against Xal'atath.[7] He could be found talking with Aponi Brightmane in the Tranquil Strand.

What would you do if you came to realize your instructor may not know as much as you thought, and that you may have found a better path?
