This page uses present-tense language to describe one or more realms, people, events, features, or other items of game-related content that do not yet exist, and may never exist, at least in the form described. It is, at present, a work of fiction written with the hope that it will become true.


Please consider using Template:Infobox RegionData instead, which automatically fetches the relevant and always-correct data from the game engine itself. Use this template for historical pages where the region data is no longer available (e.g. the sunk south islands).

To convert, use the "image" property - the first number is the world-id, the second the region-id.

[[Category:{{{continent}}} Regions]] Shrine of Seeklander (pronounced: shrine of SEEK-lan-der) is a stronghold region located on the east-side of the north-western mountain ridge. This stronghold is key to the control of the mountain regions as well as keeping the monster populations under control and defending the realm of Everguard, which is located to the east, from them. Also the stronghold offers a safe retreat for many Guardians.

Climate

The climate is a lower alpine climate, a result of the location; right on the outskirts of Dwilight's highest mountain ridge. The three Mountains of Challenge all know an alpine climate due to their height from the sea level.

Religious Significance

A group of nine Torenists celebrating Mass

The religion of Torenism views the northern mountain ranges of Dwilight as holy ground - the site of the revelation of Tor's will to the Messiah Luna Dawnstar came to the west at the Mountain of Betrayal, and since then many Torenist events of significance have occured there. Because of this, in the early days of the faith, the High King Fisc Arylon ordered a grand shrine built in the shadow of the mountains. This giant steppe pyramid that was constructed there serves as a waypoint for Torenists traveling west to the mountains on pilgrimage - or more properly those who ware "seeking" Tor. This is the genesis of the name "Seeklander", for it is land set aside for those seeking Tor's grace.

There is something known to Torenists as The Seeklander Creed - this is an ecumenical Torenist statement of faith used by the laity of the church to declare their belief system to themselves, and to others. It is recited during each Toren Mass Celebration, as well as all formal rites of passage for the religion. The creed was drafted by the church leaders in the first days of Torenism, at an ecumenical council that was held at the newly constructed shrine in the region known as Seeklander - thus did that area lend its name to the creed.

Today, Torenists consider the shrine housed at Seeklander to be among the most holy sites on the continent, perhaps ranking behind only the Mountain of Betrayal and the holy city of Valkyrja.
