| When one is relentlessly in the pursuit of Knowledge, there is nothing
| | Once, the Ultraist, [[Niuri]], was a paragon of Knowledge and Mystery, teaching Sacrifice and Purpose in the pursuit of |
| one will not do in order to attain the whole of it all, especially from
| | deep secrets. Early in [[Khepary]] of the year 407MA, the Lady was betrayed by Her Brother [[Ivoln]] and cast into the |
| the Source itself. Imprisoned in this search by an unknown force in a
| | Source of Knowledge, becoming lost to mortal sight. |
| plane off the Prime, the Goddess of Mysteries was consequently released
| |
| from Her prison to grace Sapience with Her presence once more.
| |
| | |
| Pursuing Her lofty ambitions, however, have had its consequences but not
| |
| without a measure of success. While managing to learn all of what the
| |
| Source of Knowledge had to offer Her, Niuri's mind was near incapable to
| |
| understand the sheer magnitude of Power of what it entailed. It
| |
| splintered Her mind, burying some of the more Knowledgeable of voices
| |
| within Her. No longer only the Goddess of Mysteries or the Preceptor is
| |
| She, but the Ultraist She will be.
| |
| | |
| Armed with what the Source had to offer Her, Niuri now propagates an
| |
| alternative path to uncovering Mystery, as well as attaining and
| |
| applying one's Knowledge in the world around them. Believing that there
| |
| is no value in the strive for one's goal or the near perfection of one's
| |
| Knowledge without Purpose in one's actions, the Ultraist also advocates
| |
| the need for Excellence which would set the seeker a notch above the
| |
| stifling trappings of the self-perceived elitist attitude.
| |
| | |
| Zealous as She is on the pursuit of Knowledge, She also demands Her
| |
| followers to understand the importance of Sacrifice. Without it, nothing
| |
| can be truly accomplished while one stays at the periphery of one's
| |
| comfort zones. While most of everything can be claimed as the symbol of
| |
| Niuri's realms, only the semblance of a golden astrolabe and Her
| |
| featureless Mask of Obscurity are true testaments of Her pervasive
| |
| presence in [[Sapience]].
