The Seven Sages

The Seven Sages are a pantheon of faceless gods who bring education and enlightenment to those who worship their principles. Zenith leads an organization called the New Seven Sages, whether they have an affiliation with the religion is unclear.

Story
Worship of the seven sages is practice unique to Sai Don. The seven sages are a collection of gods worshiped together. Each of the sages is said to be a master of a different domain but the individual sages do not have names and the sages are never depicted apart form one another.

Years ago during the Time of Tumult monsters ruled the seas of Sai Don. People would rarely sail, except to fish and even this was considered an event dangerous enough to warrant ceremonies and protection with spears. For eons this was the status quo until the seven sages arrived. These individuals brought education, both magical and otherwise to the impoverished and besieged individuals of Sai Don. The citizenry were able to help themselves by better catching food and building stronger boats.

However, the monsters, upset at their prey's new found prowess, planned to lead an assault to assert their power once more over the oceans. To protect Sai Don the sages sacrificed themselves by sailing out into the ocean where they cast a spell that pulled the monsters towards them like water down a drain. The monsters and the sages were destroyed but the knowledge they brought with them remained.

Reality
The Seven Sages were also apparently a group of actual individuals who traveled among the populations of Sai Don many years ago. The crew of the Quarantina have heard, dreamed, or otherwise been alluded to the nature of these people.
