Introduction

The Light Of Fontan is a religion based on the values and prophecies of a distant realm. We follow their ideals by referencing their scriptures on Knighthood. Our Gods are from the Celestial Plane, and therefore we worship the Sun, the Moon and the Stars.

The Temple Of Light

We have constructed a Temple in Fontan City (ooc: this is currently a Guild). This is the central hub of the religion.

Books

We know of 10 Books from the ancient scripts

  • 1. Integrity
  • 2. Trust
  • 3. Honour
  • 4. Respect
  • 5. The Path
  • 6. Courage
  • 7. Weakness
  • 8. Strength
  • 9. The Unseen Prophecies
  • 10. The Seen Prophecies


They detail how a knight will become a true warrior. There are rumours comign from the upper echelons of the religion about "hidden codes", or something of that nature, within the text.

The Unseen Prophecies

The Seen Prophecies

Hannibal's Reports

Asdrubal has collected all of the reports and placed them for easy reading here. They will become essential scriptures, detailing the formation of our religion.


All followers must study them, for that is the first step of a long journey. Only then will they be able to progress.

Ranks and Members

All members are equal in terms of value. However, those that have progressed to the higher ranks will have gained experience and understanding of the religion. The higher ranks are encouraged to teach the lower ranks.

It must be noted that not all knight's are destined to enter the higher ranks. This does not make them inferior. As long as a knight attempts to reach his/her potential then the Gods will be pleased.

A knight has to make an important choice early on. That is, to study all aspects of the religion (a very difficult task and likely to prevent the knight from progressing far), or to study one of the Gods solely. Usually a Priest will inform the knight of his/her potential, but it is ultimately up to the knight to decide.

We are currently seeking our Arch Priest of Light, and is therefore one of our main objectives.

The Levels are based on an old....no... 'ancient' game. A game based on spheres that collide and sometimes disappear and reappear elsewhere. The relevance of this is clear to anyone studying the religion.
