Hail Sapience!

For the Ashura, this is a time of progression and renaissance, and a
time of celebration in our fiftieth year since founding. With Lady
Demeter's help, we are able to renew our vitality and refresh things
that have been unchanged since 267 AF, while our core values remain rock
solid. In fact, our first orders from Lord Aegis were three points: be
adult, learn to fight and keep busy. One of the founding goals set by
Tranquility was for the guild to 'have a lot of capable warriors and
thinkers'. This all remains very true today.

To more fully answer 'who is the Ashura and what do we value', I've made
a notable change by having 'help ashura' rewritten by my
second-in-command, Skarash. With his years of experience in Sapience, he
has been able to brilliantly capture the soul of Ashura. Have a read.
Within the Ashurans, diverse interests are embraced with one unifying
standard of excellence, and now it is written so.

It is also notable that we now have the Lady Demeter as our patron until
Lord Aegis returns. With Her as a powerful and politically astute ally,
we are in a strong position to begin our march on the next fifty years
of the Ashuran guild.
