Champions of Athena find themselves on a never-ending journey of learning and seeking to better understand the world around them.
However the wisest of them also possess the caution to know that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
When Athena chooses a champion, she asks herself three simple questions. Will this person appreciate the value of the wisdom she can grant them? Will they use it to fight injustice and defend the innocent? And will they remember to remain humble, and never forget where these blessings came from?
Why did Athena seek you out as a champion? The following table offers a few suggestions.
