Aspirants of Learning

The Aspirants of Learning is a scholarly fellowship, consisting of people who believe the highest aspirations of life revolve around seeking knowledge in all its forms, and using that knowledge to improve the societies around them. Members strive to learn the ways of the world and can engage in any number of activities. Admittance is earned by proving oneself to other members, who are tasked with ensuring only those who are dedicated to higher learning are admitted. The token of membership is a bronze and green symbol of a feather that must be worn proudly on one's lapel or cloak. Aspirants can become members of one of the following sub-orders:
 * Aspirants of Battle: reserved for battle masters who study field tactics and the art of weaponry. Oftentimes these are retired soldiers who wish to train others or act as advisors to their leaders.
 * Mages of Learning: reserved for wizards who go beyond simply learning spells, but focus on how magic actually works. They tend to be researches and crafters of magical items.
 * Laureates: reserved for scholarly bards whose mission is to discover and document cultures, arts, and history from across the world.
 * Doctors of Philosophy: reserved for clerics of any faith who are dedicated to study and understanding of the gods role in the world.
 * Masters of Craft: reserved for artisans, smiths, scribes, and other professionals who wish to take their artistry to a new level

Roughly 100 years ago, the Aspirants decided to found the the city-state of Jow-Hadan as the center of learning for all civilizations in the Cradle of Aruru. The central library at Selihm became more than just a library or a school, it evolved into a large city, with nearly every building committed to pursuing higher learning.
