Kithanis is the newest Spirit to ascend to the position, though by no means the weakest. As a mortal, he had been a professor at the Farwind School of Magic, where he had instructed in Imarel History, Lore and Culture, along with an advanced class on Evocation. His scholarly life was changed forever when friends in the distant city of Sundown called for his aid in rescuing their friend, Dhamizad T'anas. Through his adventures there, Kithanis grew to both great power and understanding of the world around him, eventually becoming Governor of the city he helped liberate. His tenure would not last however, as he was soon murdered by a Shar`Vaire radical named only ‘The Black King.' For his selfless contributions to knowledge and its spreading, the Twin Goddesses Thyia and Theesa (whom Kithanis often paid homage) chose him to ascend as the Spirit of Knowledge. A sort of protege to the Twins, the Quar`Vessian Scion works tirelessly in their mutual interests.

Kithanis appears much as he did in life, with golden blonde hair kept drawn into a ponytail, viridian green eyes and noble features fitting for an Asyndi that came from aristocracy. He dresses in some manner of long coat, with tastefully matched trousers, quarter boots, short-collared shirt and a cravat. Also worth noting that Kithanis is the only Spirit in the pantheon that was the child of an Avatar. Zorah, as she traveled the world with an Avatar, fell in love with the warlock, Kirandar uth Braegon and bore him the child, Kithanis. This unusual birthing gave Kithanis a considerable edge in both intellect and ability to use magic, even beyond other Asyndi.

Those who worship the Spirit of Knowledge include professors, scholars, wandering sages and anybody with a craving for answers where there are none. While certainly seeming to be a deity who promotes wallowing away in a library, Priests of Knowledge actually encourage worshipers to go out in the world and see it, learn it and make a difference whenever they can.
