The New Order
Overview
Whether we be Apostate or Templar, our goal is to eradicate the hideous Order of Sacred Light and all its past and future incarnations as to bring balance to the realm.
The Templars
Focused wholly on combat, the Templars wear the emblem of a bloodied cross to signify their sacrifice. A cluster of both mages and warriors the group is formidable and trained for combat, honed weapons of the Patron Daemon Alistaer.
On The Theme of Religion
The creation of the universe was inconsequential compared to the forces that melded it themselves. God, the one Creator, the one Maker and all his aspects.
The Old Gods and the New
Also known as the False Gods, these are various Aenguls and Daemons who have tampered with the mortal plane and inflicted horrors upon mankind.
Tahariae - He who gave way to sin and impurity, he wields a sword that should not be his and does as he wishes like a slothful tyrant.
Nemiisae - A goddess who long ago bedded a mortal man named Zanunder to spawn a race of wretched killers and slavers, the beast struck down her husband in his sleep and left her ilk to rot.
Xan - The lion, order. Order holds no place in a world of chaos, and we thrive on change. This god would have us set into our current ways for all of eternity.
Iblees - The Daemon who cast on us our bindings to his foul curses, never again shall we see him rise.”
All four perceived as the harbingers of sin, to worship this group is a criminal offense to the many creeds of the covenant.
The Trinity
The three fatalities, or carnal acts. To commit sin earns punishment from your master, for only he dictates the grievousness of your crime.
- Pain
Pain is an illusion, and to let it rule you is to give in to fear.
- Dishonor
To not abide by one's words is atrocious and a wretched sin.
- Gluttony
To take that which He does not give, to gorge yourself on the labor of others and hungrily eat more than your fair share.
The Envoy
The Forlorn Lord, the All-Seeing Eye, Elysium and Enlightenment are his Connotations. The Daemon Alistaer in his respective forms as Maliakiith the Warrior and Aerk’iath the Scholar’s eye spans every moment, while the Old Gods seek to impose themselves upon us he aids us in expunging the heavenly tide. He would see the world purged of godly tyranny, freeing mankind from its many unseen puppet-masters.
The Reigns of Mortality
None are better fit to rule the lands of mortalkind than man itself, the Old Gods’ dogma must be abolished to give way to an age of mortality and invention unparalleled in history. No forgotten gods of ages past, no archaic monoliths of self destructive holy energies, only us and the cosmos.
The Triad
As taught by the Lord of Carnage and First Imperator Kaer’gi, the First, Second, and Third Sins were brought unto us by the deific.
“Long had the man stared at the night sky to wonder what lurked above in the heavens, and long had the answer remained barred from them. In days of yore a simple Seer had wandered the earth with a scrying orb in hand. Kaer’gi, the supposed wrath of the sun; Aerk’iath’s tenets, he taught, must be upheld lest the world dissolve into endless war and as he went on to gradually explain the sins of the deific and how all godliness must be expunged as to prevent cataclysmic conflicts such as the First Sin and the wars against both the Undead and the Scourge in more recent days.To make matters simple, the Seer claimed that the First Sin was Iblees whereas the Second was both Undead resurgences and the Third the direct intervention of AenguDaemon in mortal affairs. With this revelation, Kaer’gi’s followers basked in his wisdom and so the Seers of Aerk’iath were born and to this day they have wreaked havoc on the Brotherhood of Sacred Light and its various incarnations” (Excerpt from the Book of Life, Pg. 5)
The Binding
The Mark of the Viper
It is said that when Kaer’gi was endowed with eldritch powers by the Daemon Alistaer, he poured energy into the first Binding. A brand, the flesh rune is a parasite that feeds on a mage’s aura and then recycles the energy to shift both the mark and all the caster’s magic to a deep crimson hue. Only one of the two true Lord-Inquisitors holds the capacity to bestow the mark upon adept Seers and Templars in the Covenant.
Alistaer’s Manifestations
Alistaer is commonly depicted as being in pseudo-Orenian platemail. Manifesting as either a cobra or the famed insignia of the All-Seeing Eye.
The Bound Ones, the Scions of Alistaer
Lord-Inquisitor Kaegaz’arai - The Lord of Torment, Wroth of Maliakiith.
Lord-Inquisitor Kaer’gi - The Lord of Carnage, Scion of Aerk’iath.
Kalias - Dubbed the Lord of Elysium, Third Apostate of Maliakiith.
Koraz - The second Apostate, Lord of Fury, Wroth’s Hand.
