Surak was a legendary Vulcan philosopher, scientist, and logician, considered the greatest of all who ever lived on Vulcan and the father of the modern Vulcan civilization.
Surak was killed in the last battle against "those who marched beneath the Raptor's wings." (ENT: "The Forge") He died from radiation sickness by atomic weapons on Mount Seleya.
Surak considered the present situation analogous to the one that occurred in ancient Vulcan, and would not participate in any fighting, as it was "more logical to heal than kill." Spock was touched by Surak's conviction to pacifism.

Surak actually displays emotion when talking to Archer, as well as the use of Earth-based idioms, but this is clearly because of the influence of Archer's mind.

 STARTREK.COM : Biography
In the 4th century A.D. (Earth calendar), Surak traversed a treacherous desert known as "The Forge" in his quest for enlightenment, and came to conclude that logic is at the heart of every Vulcan soul.
According to legend, Surak's body died on Mount Seleya, but his katra, the essence of his consciousness, was spirited away before "the last battle against those who marched beneath the Raptor's Wings" and stored in an ark.

A movement known as Syrrannites, claiming to follow the true teachings of Surak, came to be a significant force on the Vulcan world, threatening the status quo leadership with their philosophy.

 Surak's Soul
This event (in combination with a couple references to an earlier episode in the series) causes her wonder if she has drifted away from the teachings of the most revered figure in Vulcan history.
The plot itself is driven by the crew's attempts to discover exactly what killed the people of that world-and how to avoid that fate themselves, since the landing party had also exposed itself to whatever influences might have done the job.
All in all, Surak's Soul seems like it would translate fairly well into an Enterprise episode, and likely would be one of the better ones (although not necessarily without it's faults).

According to legend, Surak's body died on Mount Seleya, but his katra, the essence of his consciousness, was spirited away before "the last battle against those who marched beneath the Raptor's Wings" and stored in an ark. This "katric ark" was buried for centuries until presumably found in 2137 by a disciple named Syrran.
As a Syrrannite and a mind-melder, her life and reputation were constantly at threat, and in 2152 she took up refuge with others of similar persuasion at the T'Karath Sanctuary located deep in the desert known as The Forge.
T'Pau was the prime suspect in the bombing of the Earth embassy on Vulcan in 2154, which led the human Jonathan Archer and his Vulcan confidant T'Pol to track her down.

With the Enterprise novel Surak's Soul, she has fashioned a pleasant enough story but regrettably, while the novel is very readable it is not particularly original, complex or lengthy.
She cannot help fearing that her time on board the Enterprise is leading her to forsake the teachings of Surak and his philosophy of non-violence.
Unfortunately, in the case of Surak's Soul, ethical contemplation is not enough to sustain the story on its own.

Like on the Surak class, an annular warp drive is employed, but here the hull of the ship splits, thereby forming a second ring that wraps horizontally around the engine ring.
Although it is possible that the VFX people already intended the Sh'Ran to be different from the (smaller?) Surak class and just didn't finish the new model in time, the considerable visual difference does not allow the interpretation that the Sh'Ran may be of the D'Kyr type.

Quantum goes on that the bombing was an excuse to round up the Syrrannites so they wouldn't find the Dead Surak Scrolls, which Quantum places on the table.
