Manasaputras are a race of celestials from Creation's Forge who guard the plane's Cosmic Fire while they seek to perfect themselves and achieve oneness with the universe; they also help mortals achieve the same.1

Ecology

Manasaputras are manifested from the joining of raw life-giving energy and the souls of reincarnated mortals who achieved perfect spiritual transcendence in life.2

Society

Manasaputras welcome visitors and often teach them spiritual maturation and enlightenment. They temper the instinctive xenophobia of jyoti when both are present, and both races respect each other, but neither seeks out the other.2

The greatest manasaputras seek out the wisdom of the Logos, a presence sometimes equated with the aeons' Monad or whomever tasked the jyoti with their guardianship of souls. Only the manasaputras discuss this subject with others, and only in the form of personal quests designed to guide scholars to their own conclusions.2
