Natural Astronomy (sage study)
From The Authentic D&D Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchNatural astronomy is a sage study in the field of Earth & Sky. Though similar in some matters to the clerical sage study, Astronomy & Astrology, this druidical study is less mystical in its details, concentrating upon relationships between the earth and sky. Mathematics (geometry, trigonometry and algebra) remains an important element of the study, but some knowledge fundamentally derives from an intuitive understanding of nature.
