Kefnet the Mindful
With his ibis head and glorious wings, the god Kefnet represents intellect and the magic of the mind. Kefnet oversees the Trial of Knowledge, and judges worthiness based on mental prowess.
“The worthy shall cultivate a nimble mind to perceive the glorious wonders that await them.”
Kefnet uses the Trial of Knowledge as means of choosing his champions who have proven to be wise, creative, and thirsty for knowledge. This Trial tests your mental capacity. It involves figuring out one's way out of a labyrinth of water and illusion, catered to the initiates' basic fears, without being drowned. Magic dampens instincts and emotions.
“No amount of strength can help you overcome my trial. You must be ready to forgo your body and favor your mind.”

Wisdom begins in wonder.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.
The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities; the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain.
Very few beings really seek knowledge in this world. Mortal or immortal, few really ASK. On the contrary, they try to wring from the unknown the answers they have already shaped in their own minds.
It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.
The history of thought, of knowledge, of philosophy, of literature seems to be seeking, and discovering, more and more discontinuities, whereas history itself appears to be abandoning the irruption of events in favor of stable structures.
