From Brother Bellator Arden Fury, Founder of Ordenstaat historical notation.

The four nobles stood at the edge of the wood before the clearing leading to the walls of Rettleville. They had travelled far from a distant land - Fissoa. They had sailed the seas of Dwilight and marched through danger. But by Zisa and Tyr, the daimons and the undead were confounded! And the spiritual pilgrims, warrior monastic knights with steely determination and endurance had made it unharmed to their soon-to-be capital. And to think that:

It(the quest) started out as a feeling

Which then grew into a hope

Which then turned into a quiet thought

Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder

Till it was a battle cry

And the men, over 200 of them all cried out as one:

"I believe in Zisa, gentle mother, shaper of heaven and earth. She is the bringer of life, the first blossom that marks the end of winter. I believe in Tyr, wise father, guardian of the balance, who fought for our salvation on a thousand worlds, and led man through fire. I believe in the teachings of our mother, given to man in the first age: That we should put the good of our brothers and sisters before our own, so the whole might be made stronger and our world be made whole. I believe in the teachings of our father, given to man in the second age: That we should guard ourselves against the shadow, against greed, and hatred, and envy, so that the daemon shall find no shelter in our hearts. I believe that the world is poised on the brink of oblivion, for the heretic and the daemon are ever among us. Through unwavering faith we steel our souls, that no false gods shall again threaten us. We are the children of the gods,and we are forever."
