PFS StandardTolte Coatl (The Crafter of Knowledge)

Source Divine Mysteries pg. 302
Tolte Coatl (TOLL-teh coh-AHtl) is the youngest of the tribunal, but sometimes seen as the leader of three. While he is always looking to help mortals and share righteous ideals with them, Tolte Coatl is more concerned with matters of the mind than the more physical pursuits of his siblings. He teaches that knowledge isn’t simply accumulated all at once, it’s slowly built up, like a home being built one brick at a time; knowledge must generally be built upon itself. One can’t know how to cook for oneself until they know how to create a fire. Tolte Coatl encourages patience with learning and acquiring new skills. He also encourages sharing knowledge when it can help others. As such, he sometimes grants his followers gifts of small pieces of vital information that can help unlock new collections of knowledge, such as a vital component to a new invention or a portion of an alchemical formula.

Tolte Coatl also encourages regular journeys, as a means of acquiring new knowledge, but also to refresh the mind. A mind that remains in one place too long can grow stale, clouded by the familiar. Journeys are also new experiences, whether they can teach a person or not, and novel experiences tend to make new memories. Associations with powerful memories can help a person, and many times, hide lessons that a person can discover upon reflection. While Tolte Coatl generally distances himself from combat, he and his followers will intercede to protect knowledge. Tolte Coatl appears as an auwaz coatl, a coatl known for aiding others on their journeys. His servitors include guides, inventors, and teachers. Tolte Coatl’s symbol is a coatl’s wing raining down stars.
