From publisher blurb:
PHILOSOPHER SMITHS
The morthyr are an amazing addition to the peoples of Beacon, as their arrival revealed that Beacon was not the only settlement on Ghaistala. In 351 AP, a morthyr ship arrived in the docks of northern Lowcity battered and torn, but whole with eight morthyr warriors and a diplomat from the far city of Morthra. Their simian features, golden armor, and massive weapons made many stare at them, but soon it was learned that the morthyr had been guided to Ghaistala by the Titan Honor, millenghais ago. Their native homeworld in the eye of a growing black hole, a priest named Zanthok prayed to the cosmos to send a savior, and Honor heard his cry. The morthyr are proud warriors, but also impassioned orators and philosophers. All young morthyr must learn the Teachings of Honor, a collection of Scriptures written by Zanthok as he pilgrimaged the universe at Honor's side. With a now established portal to Morthra, trade between the two cities has blossomed, with the morthyr even beginning to educate G.E.A.R. in the use of star forges an ancient technology yet to be found within the Beacon itself.
