Aspect of Ruun

Sage spirit guides are among the wisest spirits. They often take the forms of raptors such as owls, using their keen senses to evaluate situations from high above before swooping in to aid imperiled mortals.

Adventurers who befriend a sage guide are fortunate indeed; in addition to providing sage counsel before conflict begins, sage guides can restore and tend to their allies in the aftermath of a violent dispute.

In many stories, the sage guide assumes the form of a large owl whose proud breast is composed of hard stone. This depiction combines the wisdom commonly attributed to the owl with the strength and fortitude of the earth.

Spirit guides are ghostly creatures that manifest as primordial animals on the Material Plane. Many Sarkorian cultures believe that spirit guides came into being at the same time as the first mortal hunting bands. In this time before time, spirit guides took on the most elemental shapes of animals, and they taught humanoid communities about important aspects of nature. As they imparted their wisdom, these spirit guides took physical forms, becoming the wild animals that exist today. Though spirit guides bestowed most of their gifts unto mortals in ancient times, a rare few continue to lurk in forgotten or as-of-yet-undiscovered corners of the physical world.
