Zunakhar, God of Knowledge
The world holds such secrets, more than you could possibly comprehend; let Us show you how truly wondrous it can be.
Knowledge is infinite, and by its nature cold and emotionless. Always seek to understand the secrets of the world and what lies beyond it, never letting anything stand in your way. Morals, ethics, empathy; none of those are acceptable barriers to the pursuit of knowledge. Letting your emotions control you is the height of folly, for knowledge does not care about them. Let no creature take root in your mind, either for love, friendship, or hatred.
