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.


Teachings & Beliefs of The Valentic Order

All members of this Knightly Order follow a code created for them by Komar's chosen Priest, Saint Darrin of Winifael, founder of The Valentic Order. Beliefs & details regarding the Ancients have been translated from The Old Tongue directly from The Scrolls of the Vale.

Classes within The Valentic Order

There are four divisions of service to the Highfather and Komar:

The Champions of the Ancients

The Warriors of the Order

The Brothers of Service

The Bishops of the Highfather

(More details regarding these ranks will be revealed as The Scrolls of the Vale are further translated. - Darrin)


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.


The Valentic Order's Honorable Code of Conduct

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