Teachings & Beliefs of The Valentic Order

All members of this Knightly Order follow a Code of Honor compiled by Komar's chosen Priest, Saint Darrin of Winifael, founder of The Valentic Order, and share a common faith in the Highfather, the Ancients (named below), and the Betrayers (named below). Beliefs & details regarding the Ancients have been translated from The Old Tongue directly from The Scrolls of the Vale. These are the Highfather's wishes for all Souls.


The Valentic Order's Honorable Code of Conduct

All members of this Knightly Order must strictly adhere to this code of Honor:

  • 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 the Seven Loyal Ancients, in the hope that they might be able to restore the world to the way the Highfather had intended before the Betrayers destroyed it. Though each Ancient takes a different form, and searches for different types of people as followers, all share 2 primary goals:

1) The preservation and advancement of humanity.

-AND-

2) The destruction of evil, in whatever form it may take.


Here are named the Seven Loyal Ancients, the marks of their presence in our world, as well as who we believe they have called to serve them:

KardWisdom, Wind

  • Represented by the followers of "The Old Gods"

  • Followers are known as "The Valentic Order"
