Setessan Battle Priest

Philosopher Naming Issue

On a recent blogatog discussion, I'd like to share how much I despise Traveling Philosopher. I read that Traveling Philosopher was a forced fit since Creative needed something to be a Philosopher, but then I don't get why you didn't make Setessan Battle Priest the philosopher instead. A platonic bear wrestler is Vorthosian self-destruction and it's the biggest flavor miss in the game - for it seems like you know how to design advising creatures, but not what to name them. So much opportunity...

The creative team was trying to find a way to fit a philosopher in Greek mythology world so they put it on a small vanilla creature. I’m not quite sure it’s the Vorthosian abomination some have made it out to be.
