I think David is absolutely right. Most Pavisites equate the God Learners with Gbaji and vice versa. They are responsible for the Chaos in the Big Rubble, don't you know?

Depends. Stuff with archaic Western script written all over it is assumed to be from the God Learners by sages (even if that is still done in Seshnela and other lands of the Abiding Book). Maybe a few sages in New Pavis can tell the difference between Jrusteli artifacts and Second Age EWF artifacts. But most folk can't tell the difference.
