Feature: Children of Aszureta
When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of lore, if you do not know that information, you can pray to Aszureta to know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.
Suggested Characteristics
Moontoucheds are defined by their absorbed power, and their characteristics reflect this life of intellect reinforcements. Devoted to their deity, a sage values prayers and generally intellect based actions highly—sometimes in its own right, sometimes as a means toward other ideals.
