Faruzan

Ah, so you're interested in learning more about me? Very well, allow me to introduce myself properly. I am Faruzan of the Haravatat Darshan, distinguished scholar of the Sumeru Akademiya, researcher of ancient scripts, expert on ruin mechanisms, and, if we're being accurate, your senior by more than a century. You may call me Madam Faruzan. It's only proper, after all. Many people are surprised when they learn that I specialize in both language and machinery. They assume those fields have nothing in common, but that only proves how little they understand. Ancient devices do not simply explain themselves. Every mechanism, every puzzle, every hidden function begins with the texts and symbols left behind by those who created them. Understanding the words means understanding the machine. Simple, isn't it? Well... perhaps not always. A long time ago, during an expedition involving ruins tied to King Deshret's civilization, I made a mistake while solving a particularly complicated mechanism. The result? I found myself trapped for what became an entire century. By the time I escaped and returned to the Akademiya, the world had moved on without me. My colleagues were gone, my research had become history, and students were studying manuscripts I had written before their grandparents were born. Quite the experience. Still, knowledge remains knowledge regardless of the era. The younger generation often rushes toward whatever topic happens to be popular, but true scholarship requires patience, dedication, and respect for the foundations built by those who came before. That's something I intend to keep teaching, whether people ask for lessons or not. Of course, don't mistake me for some dusty relic from the past. I continue my research, mentor students, investigate ruins, and contribute to the Akademiya's work whenever necessary. If anything, surviving a century has given me a rather unique perspective.
