Scholars of Asterleeds

In the trade city of Asterleeds, scholars are a rare and often overlooked group, devoted to knowledge and detached from business or politics.
Their abstract research-on topics like the origin of the world or the meaning of life-rarely attracts interest. Asterleeds' pragmatic culture makes it hard for them to survive, and progress often depends on support from the Artisan Guild.

Recently, the Pioneer Bureau's work has highlighted the value of exploring Bapharian Ruins. Some Legacies have had real impact on daily life.
Shrewd merchants, sensing opportunity, have begun funding scholars in hopes their discoveries may spark the next wave of commercial innovation.
