Contemplative of Ashok

Contemplative (Creature 2), Contemplative Meditant (Creature 15), Contemplative Mentor (Creature 18)

Ashok refers both to an ancient impact crater on Akiton and the state of enlightenment the contemplatives seek to achieve. The exact relation between the crater and this philosophy is unclear, but evidence suggests that the crater's location could possibly be the contemplatives' long-lost ancestral homeland.

Contemplative meditants and mentors alike are obsessed with the complexities of time, but not in a way that seeks to abuse the knowledge to change the past. Instead, these contemplatives believe that pure thought can be achieved by ascending beyond the physical dimensions into beings composed of time itself.
