Wisdom Among The Gurahl

The Gurahl view healing, teaching, and nurturing as sacred duties that require both compassion and steel. They are they are called to heal the sick, nurture the needy, and teach the supplicant, even when it costs them dearly, and walk the balance between unconditional care and harsh judgment: they must cherish cubs while culling corruption, heal the sick while punishing the guilty, remember history while adapting to new needs. Other Fera may encourage restraint or even retreat, but Gurahl wisdom demands you stand and tend the wounded. Unwisdom for a Gurahl means failing to care or failing to hold accountable.
