The Valentic Order

The High Father's Valentic Order of Knights

dedicated to the Highfather, Komar, and the freedom of all Souls

The Knights of The Valentic Order are the best trained and disciplined fighters in the world. They are famous and easily recognized, usually wearing a distinct golden cape, with a red crown or cross emblazoned above the heart or on the chest, to signify their devotion to Komar. Joining this Order requires piety, obedience, and above all, courage. For the warriors of The Valentic Order, there is a cardinal rule of never surrendering, with the understanding that if they were to die in battle, their entry into the Vale of the Highfather is assured. This fearless uncompromising nature, along with excellent training, make them a feared and elite fighting force. Their goal is to free all Souls from the influences of the Betrayers, and restore the World to the way the Highfather wished.

By our hands Culture and Civilization will spread; by our deeds the Souls are freed from the Betrayers. Go forth and make The World as the Highfather wished.

The Religion of the Highfather

The following account has been taken directly from The Scrolls of the Vale, our sacred texts. It describes how our World came into existance, and the initial conflict that caused the Age of Strife to begin.

Concerning Other Religions

Here are listed The Valentic Order's views on other popular teachings in Beluaterra (last updated 4/27/06).

-Qyrvaggism - Evil

• Based on my studies of their manuscripts and my discussions with their priests, I believe "Qyrvagg" is an ancient name for Xed, spirit of Hate. I have brought the word of Komar to them, but they did not accept him. Soon, it will be time to bring the sword. - Darrin

-The Path of the Great Dragon - Variant

• After speaking with their priests and studying their sacred scrolls, I have come to the conclusion that "The Great Dragon" they serve is actually a physical form taken by Rin, Ancient of Fire, to gain followers for himself. They are opposed to all forms of evil, and strive to do all they can to protect others from it as well. The followers of The Path should be treated as brothers & sisters. - Darrin

-The Church of Estahsism - Misguided

-Order of the Druids - Variant

• I have yet to encounter any of their priests, but from my studies of their literature, I believe these Druids to be followers of Quil, Ancient of Trees. They are opposed to all forms of evil, acknowledge the Highfather (though not by name) and are devoted to the study of the Highfather's creation. The Druids should be treated as brothers & sisters. - Darrin

-Hemaism - Ignore

• Not enough information has been collected to make an informed decision. - Darrin
