It was long before the rise of Iblees that the Aengul Tahariae first revealed himself. In the visions of the Prophets and His rare manifestations on the mortal plane, Tahariae is seen as a golden, radiant stag. Tahariae guides His followers through the Five Tenets bestowed upon the First Prophets, and through the mouth of the current Prophets. Those whom He deems worthy also receive His divine blessing, granting the mortal the ability to work miracles through prayer to Him and to wield His great power against evil. His power manifests in the palms and staffs of His clerics in the form of a brilliant light, which the worshiper is able to control in whatever way they deem fit. For both war clerics and priests, Tahariae is very strict about the uses of His gift, as described in the Five Tenets. If a cleric were to violate one of the Tenets, Tahariae would send one of His Itharel to strip them of their blessing and banish them from the Order. His power is to be used only to establish purity and justice on the mortal plane, not for the whims of those He has bestowed His grace upon. [*] Shelter and protect thy brothers and sisters of Tahariae. [*] [*] Do not stray from thy dedication to the Pure One. [*] [*] Guide and protect the Descendants of the Four against the Impure. [*] [*] Do not spill the blood of the innocent. [*] [*] Do not use Tahariae’s blessing for anything other than His Will. [*] . Above all else, the history of Tahariae’s children is sacred. It has been passed down to each generation of clerics through journals, tomes, and oral tradition. With the founding of the Atheran Order by Grandmaster Katari Stirling, the High Priest Heshakomeu Sohae compiled everything known of the cleric’s history into the Elnaeran’Tahariae - “The Clerics of Tahariae.” Tahariae’s blessing was, is, and shall always be of a dual nature. His will is to purge the unholy, but it is also to heal those hurt by the unholy; to destroy and to rebuild; to slay and to restore. The Clerical Order of Tahariae is divided into two branches: the Sacred Priesthood and the Holy Guardians. Those who have accepted the Clerical Trials and Tahariae, but have not yet received Tahariae’s Gift, are known as Acolytes. In the absence of a prophet, the Order is led by the Grandmaster and the Council of Light. The Grandmaster, the High Priest, and the High Guardian make up the Council of Light. In addition to their individual roles within the Order, they oversee granting Initiates the sacred abilities of Tahariae, diplomatic relations with organizations outside the Order, and assigning tasks and missions to Order clerics. Through faith and dedication, Rebekah and Jacob were blessed by the Pure One. Over the hundreds of years of the followers of Tahariae wandering the realms, the sacred traditions, rituals, and prayers of the Priesthood have been passed down and kept virtually intact by each generation of cleric. Its members represent Tahariae’s grace and unwillingness to let the impure and unjust leave permanent mark. Initiate Priest High Priest If the Priesthood is the voice of Tahariae, the Guardians are His sword and shield. They are the instruments He uses to purge the world of the unholy creatures of darkness, the Light of Tahariae manifesting in their palms in the form of spears, fire, and blinding radiance. These followers of Tahariae have watched over the Descendants since the blessing of the First Prophets, and they shall continue to until the sun ceases to rise and the world is dead. Protector Guardian High Guardian Those who profess to follow Tahariae and the Prophets whom He chose to bless. The ways of old cannot be forgotten, lest the truth of Tahariae’s purity be corrupted by mortal tongue. Currently, the members of the Order worship and offer their wisdom from the Sanctum of Tahariae across the river from the Cloud Temple, and from the Shrine of Saint Lenia in Leyulin. Grandmaster - Heshakomeu Sohae Priest - Beros Priest - Neopolitina Priest - Mia de Silvaros Priest - Skale Priest - Kaun Crotania Protector - Alakagh Uuthlini Initiate - Ramza Mantisuku Robes are given upon completion of the initiation ritual.
