The (university of higher learning) is the jewel of the Setiran forest, and all who seek knowledge find themselves there. Every member of the Council of the Chosen has studied under the great professors of Setir.
In Setiran society, children are challenged daily with games, riddles, and puzzles. They are encouraged to learn and debate, and there is a philosophy that a person is “forever a student”. As such, no one is shamed for what they do not yet know.

Savant
Savants are monastic magic wielders that strive to perfect all the uses of the human mind. They are archivists, farmers, and philosophers. They come from all walks of life and often are desperate to leave all the trappings of their prior living to engage in a simpler existence.
In Mydista, people don’t typically have possessions outside of what they can carry, as such most people are wearing or carrying everything that they own. Savants are among those who treasure the knowledge, experience, and stories that they collect above all material things, so they are very often the prime example of this.

Clarity White, Contemplation Shale
Ginko is a 25 year old Nuwe (female) from the Xiluba Clan of the Setir Forest, bordering Gemyn territory. Her family at large has felt forgotten by the Emblems. The last White Knight from the Xiluba Clan was Newt, a visitor from another world and not technically amongst the bloodline. Ginkgo has trained herself to analyse the hearts and minds of those around her, and she is a highly skilled combatant. She has become exceptionally proficient at cornering an enemy, which her trainers likened to a fearsome predator. This fear has earned her the nickname “Trapper”, which she either doesn’t know about, or doesn’t acknowledge. She is not malicious, however, and to those who know her is very kind. She is one who follows orders, whether or not she agrees with them.
The people of Setir are scholars, educators, and advisors. Their innate Aspect Magic is Psyche Magic, which heightens their senses, gives them telekinetic abilities, and allows them limited mind control. Ginko has trained herself to observe both what people are thinking, and how they are feeling, which is what makes her such an efficient assailant.
