Affil­i­a­tion	Sumeru Akademiya
Region	Sumeru

Haravatat is one of the Six Darshans, the six main schools of Sumeru Akademiya.

It is specialized in semiotics, the study of sign processes and meaning-making, and includes disciplines such as linguistics and ancient runes studies.

Their recognized color is black and its sage is Khajeh. The mascot on their symbol resembles a bull.

Haravatat is currently the Darshan with the lowest enrollment numbers.

Overview

For example, my Darshan, Haravatat, focuses on linguistics, but we seldom discuss literature. Instead, we spend a lot of time studying syntax and structure.

—Gregor, daytime dialogue

Amongst the Six Darshans, Haravatat's focus on semiotics involves it in the study of ancient languages. Due to this overlap in studies with Vahumana, which focuses on history, its members occasionally argue on the best way to approach the study of history. Based on Khaldun and Yavanani's debates, those from Vahumana view Haravatat's approach as "tunnel-visioning," while Haravatat believes that Vahumana's approach of trying to find universal rules that determine all events in history "[puts] the cart before the horse." Members of the Rtawahist Darshan, such as Hawa, also sometimes dabble into the study of ancient runes, although Hawa comes from a lineage of scholars and may have gained some knowledge from outside her Darshan.

One of the languages studied in Haravatat is the ancient King Deshret script.

According to Alhaitham, a member of Haravatat, every student is required to study at least twenty languages before graduation, though this is later revealed to be a former policy from a century ago that continues to be propagated as an in-joke.

Haravatat's research has shifted over the last century from the study of machine mechanisms and analyzing the ancient structures of ruin devices using various ancient texts to the study of language itself, with the former becoming a niche within their Darshan as Kshahrewar matured as the Darshan of Technology and advanced beyond Haravatat's findings. This has led to the dismissal of the 100 years time-shifted Haravatat researcher Faruzan, who was once highly regarded in her field for her contributions to the study of ancient ruins, research that was once considered invaluable to the Haravatat but has since been deemed obsolete in their Darshan, finding more use in Kshahrewar, which used her research to establish the fundamentals of the study of mechanisms.

Trivia

Etymology

• Like the other Six Darshans, the name "Haravatat" is derived from a Zoroastrian deity. It is named after Haurvatat, a goddess of water, prosperity, and health. Her name is the Avestan word for the Zoroastrian concept of "wholeness" or "perfection."
