Knights of the Eternal LightThe Knights of Eternal Light exist to defend the people and vanquish black magic wherever it is found. In short, they are religious zealots who hunt witches...broadly defined as anyone who draws power from forces other than a narrow set of gods: Lunara, Pyrose, Sharheen, and Xohm. Whatever may be said about their extremism, they are well-revered in the Shieldlands for their great success in rooting out undead, Kaeden-worshiping Zuhls and mysterious wizards that common folk fear so well. They are also well known for militant crusades to dark lands. Due to their heavy-handed inquisitions, even the righteous tend to leave the neighborhood when an army of men dressed in white robes enters town with a mission. This religion is centered in the Basilica of Aegis, a towering stronghold of gleaming white marble, the bastion of all that is true, just and good. This faith is on good terms with those who follow the Exemplar Way. Quotes: Cast light in the shadows of man's heart The light, the shining sun and moon against the oppressive darkness that seeks to cover the world. The eternal flame, the guiding light, is based within the Basilica of Aegis, the Shield of the North. Truth, virtue, and justice are our weapons, faith and life our armor, and vigilance our driving spirit. Together these will lead us to victory over darkness. With outposts spread throughout the entire world, we are able to bring the Light to all who may be hiding from it. Neither Zuhls nor the witches may hide from us. Their death is the only way to true purity. Worshipers: Zealous Alorns, especially those in the war-stricken Shieldlands of Alglondor. Gods Worshiped: Lunara, Pyrose, Sharheen, Xohm Gods Opposed: Most gods are opposed, particularly those of chaos, evil, magic, undead, or forces that threaten proper Alorn society. Of particular note are the Duirgurth gods of Kurg, Reshuk, and Tark. |
