Joat the Shy

Joat the Shy was a prophet who reportedly wrote the stone tablets which were the basis for The Golden Book. He is mentioned in the Golden Book as well as The Sanguine Brotherhood, an Official History. Many cultures have legends about him and revere him as a symbol of many virtues. He was a polytheist Vanara (apeman).

It seems likely that Joat was an actual historical figure who was exiled in 772 BCE during the Western Alaezu Debate, recalled from exile in 765 BCE and warned Queen Eranorn at her crowning in 701 BCE. The queen reputedly tortured him to death after that, although the method of torture varies by account.
