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 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.
