The Alynic Order.
“The White Flame is a force of light that hold all darkness at bay.”
Faction Overview
In the current age, the Alynic Order’s influence has waned. Many followers claim that the cause of recent wars, upheavals, disruptions, and the rise of dark magic is due to many turning away from the guidance of the White Flame. It is common to see Daegan’s seeking to peddle the influence of commoners, while Solarchs solicit leverage with aristocrats, all in an effort to gain back the prestige it had in ages past.
The church’s templars stand ready to protect the innocent from the darkness, battling all things aligned with the shadow. Daegan’s seek to do good by performing acts of compassion and charity throughout Elrün. In contrast to the Argent Four, the church maintains a defined structure and creed. Lunarchs monitor regions; Solarchs lead the church; and the ultimate authority is the Keeper of the Light, who maintains the font in Lightskeep and communes with Alynir and the wisdom of the flame.
Beliefs
- All who follow the White Flame may call upon its power to fight Darkness.
- The light inspires and guides others to be wise and righteous.
- The white flame is a force of light that holds back the Darkness.
Goals
To gather information throughout Elrün, discern the political dynamics within each region or realm, and promote fairness and equality by covert means. Act openly as a last resort. Thwart tyrants and any leader, government, or group that grows too powerful, and aid the weak, the poor, and the oppressed.
Rank and Renown
All those that follow the white flame are “followers of the light.” However, some wish to further serve the light and grow within the ranks of the church. In order to be inducted into the ranks of the order you are required to have at least 3 renown and under go the initial induction ceremony by a higher ranking member.
By gaining renown as a member of the Alynic Order, you can ascend through an ordered series of ranks. Promotion always requires the approval of a superior officer. It is a reward for services rendered to the order, rather than an automatic consequence of increased renown.
In addition, certain positions become available to you when both your renown and your character level reach certain thresholds.
