With their unsurpassed intelligence, Erudites make extraordinary
mages. Their wisdom also serves them well on the path of the
Priest.
Erudites are related to Humans and share many similar features.
They have devoted their lives to the pursuit of knowledge and
intellect. Having chosen this path, the Erudites are usually slight
in build compared to Humans - a characteristic stemming from their
distaste for conventional labor. The Erudites have shifted further
from their human origins in their quest for master of the arcane
arts. Their bodies have become even thinner, but still maintain a
defined musculature. Their eyes glow with mystical power and their
skin tone has changed to shades of gray.
Though descended from normal Humans, Erudites eschew all ties to
their less intellectual ancestry. Disciples of the great Mage Erud,
they long ago left the shores of Antonica and headed west to the
barren coast of Odus. It was here that the city of Erudin was
founded as a bastion of intelligence and culture. With high towers
built of white marble, Erudin possesses a lofty beauty unsurpassed
by any other work of man. Some years after the founding of the City
of High Men, a sect of Erudites began practicing the art of
necromancy after obtaining the knowledge from the Dark Elves.
Labeled Heretics, these outcasts rebelled against their own people,
and a terrible civil war broke out upon Odus. Magical forces took a
horrible tool on all involved, and in a final epic battle a great
hole was torn into the ground that touched the fringe of the
underfoot itself. Erudites consider all other races to be inferior,
and have no qualms about saying so - especially regarding the
Kerra, who the Erudites see as little more than animals.
Citizens of Erudin are devout followers of Quellious the Tranquil,
whose doctrine of inner peace fits well with the discipline
necessary for intellectual pursuits. An ancient order of Paladins
called the Deepwater Knights were devoted to Prexus, seeing the
rise of the oceans as proof that their god will soon return. The
Heretics of Paineel worship Cazic-Thule, applying the power of Fear
as a means of controlling lesser beings.
