Zhuraita
Creature 15Zhuraitas are dedicated to the freedom of academic and scientifc inquiry, protecting the creativity and inventiveness of scholarly felds. Many good-hearted academics have breakthroughs due to a zhuraita's inspiration, notably with projects that have lasting positive impacts on others. Zhuraitas also travel to defend important centers of knowledge when they are in danger of destruction.
Zhuraitas despise those who would use research as a tool of oppression, and there are even rumors of them sabotaging such projects, hindering their completion. The azatas are known to sometimes hide away knowledge they believe to be harmful or dangerous. They don't outright destroy such knowledge, however, and instead choose to seal it away in places they can defend. On rare occasions, a zhuraita will recognize that such knowledge might actually be of some use for a trusted ally and share the information, though only under the zhuraita's supervision.
