Teachings and Beliefs of The Highfather's Knightly Orders

Sacred Texts: "The Scrolls of the Vale"

Sacred Hymn: "Ye Who Are Warriors of The High Father"

Ye who are warriors of The Highfather and of his law,
pray to the Father for help and have faith in him;
that finally with him you will be victorious.

The Knightly Orders of the Highfather

All Knightly Orders follow a code created for them by the Highfather's chosen Priest, Saint Darrin of Winifael, a member of The Valentic Order. Each country where a Temple of the Highfather exists has a Master of the Order and a patron Ancient for the Highfather's Knights in that realm.

Classes Within the Knightly Orders

There are four divisions of Brothers in the service of the Highfather and the Ancients, none greater than the other:

• The Champions of the Ancients (Cavaliers and Heroes)

• The Warriors of the Order (Soldiers and Mentors)

• The Brothers of Service (Bureaucrats and Traders)

• The Bishops of the Highfather (Priests)

Also, a special place is given to people of Royal blood who accept and promote these Orders. They are given the title "The Highfather's Chosen", and are considered Senior Members.

Honorable Code of the Orders of the Highfather

All Knightly Orders devoted to the Highfather and the loyal Ancients must strictly adhere to this code of conduct:

• Thou shalt believe all that the Order teaches, and shalt observe all its directions.

• Thou shalt defend the Highfather, the Ancients, and thy Brothers with thy life.

• Thou shalt constitute thyself a defender of all Souls who are weak.

• Thou shalt love the country in the which thou serves.

• Thou shalt not retreat in the face of thine enemies.

• Thou shalt make war against the Betrayers without cessation or mercy.

• Thou shalt diligently perform thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of the Highfather.

• Thou shalt remain faithful to thy pledged word.

• Thou shalt be generous with the blessings of the Highfather and the Ancients.

• Thou shalt be always a champion of the Right and Good against Injustice and Evil.

The Seven Loyal Ancients

When the world was in chaos and all hope was lost, the Highfather imbued his essence into seven morals. These mortals fought and destroyed the five betrayers, driving the daemons back into the ethereal plain. They rebuilt civilization, and brought peace and security to all the lands. Now all knights devoted to the Highfather strive to fulfill the code of honour the ancients created and lived by:

Kard – Wisdom (Wind)

Komar – Courage (Earth)

Rigan – Benevolence (Water)

Quil – Respect (Trees)

Thesilia – Honesty (Light)

Rin – Glory (Fire)

Le – Loyalty (Ice)

• Komar is the patron of The Valentic Order.

The Five Betrayers

The Knightly Orders seek to remove the Betrayer's influence over the Souls, whether by the Word of by the sword.

Avar - Greed

Invi - Lust

Kyth - Pride

Xed - Hate

Uhle - Deceit
