[edit] The Prophets and Bajor
The Prophets have been involved with affairs of the Bajoran people for millennia. The Bajora began the worship of the Prophets which soon spread over much of the planet to the point where the planet and people were named after the Bajora. (DS9 - Gateways short story: "Horn and Ivory")
The Prophets sent nine Orbs to Bajor which can sometimes induce effects on those exposed to them, these have been interpreted as messages and sometimes even communication with the Prophets.
[edit] The Prophets and the Pah-Wraith
There existed another group of beings similar to the Prophets who were known as the Pah-wraith. One group of Pah-wraith were banished by the Prophets to the Fire Caves on Bajor while another group remained hidden within a second Red Wormhole. Both groups were unlike the Prophets as they were malevolent as well as cruel. (DS9 novel: Millennium)
[edit] Other Information
Out of respect for the Prophets the Iconians did not generally build Gateways within a ten lightyear radius of the wormhole. (DS9 - Gateways novel: Demons of Air and Darkness)
