The House of Purbiruni is an esteemed lineage of researchers in Sumeru, descended from the sage Biruni.
Overview[]
The patriarch of the Purbiruni lineage was Biruni, a sage who lived 500 years ago.[1]
At some point, the House of Purbiruni and the House of Pursina were rivals in the field of astrology. Since then, it appears that the two families have become rather close,[2] and Khedive Pursina is even a member of the Purbiruni school.[3] Following the events at The Chasm and as a reward for the help they provided, Khedive gives the Traveler an Akademiya Recommendation Letter to enlist the Purbirunis' assistance.
