She “seeks” because, according to the old tales, she can see the future. The Seeker of the Forest Fane basically represents the coming of the future. While most of this old religion has been lost to time, the Vistani still believe in the Threads. The Threads of Fate are the theoretical strings that make up the grander Weave. Basically, the Weave represents the fabric of the world and the passage of time. In ye olde time, long before the Morning Lord, the people of Barovia believed in the Weave.
