CHURCH OF THE ESHTAELITES Issued at Year 141 of the Second Age With our most balanced clergy, the church of the Eshtaelites within Lurin is officially operational, capable of allowing people from all corners of the realm to gather within these sacred halls. Tended to by our most balanced clergy members, the church will be maintained to our most pure of standards. THE SEARCH FOR COMMUNITY Our worship of the two aenguls Eshtael and Tahariae is not uncommon for those of the older realms, we invite them to our humble church within Lurin to gather as a community as our decentralized reverence for these two aenguls is what drives us all. Clerics of old and curious folk of the realm are all welcome to visit and will be granted hospitality as long as one is well behaved. Our disconnect from the aenguls does not stop us from our reverence. ESHTAEL TENAS EKVILIBRON signed, Philliam Uialben, Eshtaelite of Lurin

The Adherents of Tahariae ~~~ We are those sworn to one. The Judges against the dark, The Healers of the Grey, The Wardens of the sun. The Guides to all, Sworn to one noble goal: In land, no darkness, In body, no wounds, And show worship to the light. For in all, only purity. For Tahariae, our lord. ~~~ ~~~ Overview On the 12th of The Amber Cold 1571, a small band of the fallen Clerical order, the Curatrix, gathered together. There, they joined together in arms to bring back the clerical order, but under a new name and title. Long since had the name cleric been tainted with crimes of past clerics and shame, dishonour, and failure. These individuals sought out to change that, they wanted to bring out the true side of the followers of Tahariae, to make His name known across the land, and that purity strides across the lands. They desired for a new start for the clerics, and thus this order was formed from the ashes of the Clerical Order. The Adherents of Tahariae determined to do succeed where the other past orders failed. The Adherents of Tahariae is an order devoted to the Aengul of Purity, Tahariae. It is the official Clerical Order under a different name, to represent change and a new beginning for the order. The order consists of clerics who have sworn their lives to Tahariae's Mission: Bringing Purity to the realm through healing the wounds of descendants, and ridding the living darkness that sweeps the lands in the form of undead and unnatural beings. Wielding Tahariae's power in the form of light, the clerics can perform miracles by healing away even the worse of injuries and bringing forth light within the darkest of places. Aside from healing and fighting, the clerics also offer prayers and worship to the Aengul of Purity, Tahariae, the one who has gifted the clerics with His gift. The path of the cleric is a path not recommended for the weakest of hearts or those too devoted to their normal life, for many sacrifices and decisions must be made. Those who accept the path have thrown away their old life, relinquishing themselves from family and friends for the necessity of purity. They must uphold the Tenets and Utterings of Tahariae, rules far strict and must be kept to at all cost. Failure to keep to such rules will result in disconnection: the loss of Tahariae's gift and banishment from the order. Those who have taken the mantle of cleric must keep to their duty to the very end... even if it means turning the blade on a friend who has become impure and dark. ~~~ Order's Ranks The Prime Adherent Current Prime Adherent: Seyer Reesye (Nekkore) The Chief Adherent Current Chief Adherent: TBD The Masters Current Masters: Seyer Reesye - Trine Master (Nekkore) Aerin - Trine Master (Hettty) Adherents Apprentices Initiates ~~~ The Rules The Adherents follow three sets of rules: The Tenets, the Utterings, and the Order Rules. The Tenets and Utterings apply to all clerics whenever they are apart of the Adherents or not, for they are the very laws Tahariae has placed upon them. Breaking such rules upon being connected will result in the cleric being disconnected, their very soul fractured and scarred for betraying their deity's laws. Whereas, the Order Rules apply only to clerics within the Adherents.

--={+}=-- Devoted, yet not zealous. Dutiful, yet not single-minded. Understanding, yet not controlled. --={+}=-- On the 12th of The Amber Cold 1571, a small band of the fallen Clerical order, the Curatrix, gathered together in a single place after their arrival in Axios. There, they joined together in arms to bring back the clerical order, but under a new name and title. Long since had the name cleric been tainted with crimes of past clerics and shame, dishonour, and failure. These individuals sought out to change that, they wanted to bring out the true side of the followers of Tahariae, to make His name known across the land, and that purity strides across the lands. They sought out to do what the other past orders failed to do. With a new realm and most of their past mistakes known, the Adherents of Tahariae was formed and now strive within the lands. --={+}=-- About us The Adherents of Tahariae are one of three orders of clerics who serve the Aengul of Purity, Tahariae. Many see clerics as healers, whereas others see them as hunters of the dark, yet their true duty is to ensure purity is kept throughout the realm. How they do this is through healing wounds to stop suffering, and eradicating the darkness within the realm. They protect descendants from the undead and shadows, and ensure their suffering has ended. The Adherent clerics, like all other clerics of Tahariae, gain their ability to heal wounds and fight through a connection they gain between Tahariae and their soul. This connection allows Tahariae to channel His power to the Adherent, who can use it to their disposal to heal descendants and fight the dark. However, gaining this power comes at a price.The Adherents are strict when it comes to following the rules, known as the Five Tenets and Utterings. Breaking even one of the tenets or utterings can result in disconnection, which is the connection being severed and cut. This process of disconnection is met with extreme and unbearable pain, followed by the after-effects of depression, anxiety, paranoia, and even suicidal thoughts. as breaking on. Hence why becoming part of the clerics is not easy. Once a cleric, one must offer true devotion and dedication to Tahariae and their duty, even if it means putting family and friends after their duty. The path of the cleric is not advised for those who are willing to put their family above all else. The path of the cleric is not an easy one. Offical cleric lore: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/131260-the-clerics-of-tahariae-final-canonized-lore/ --={+}=-- The Five Tenets and Utterings The Tenets are the rules that the Adherents follow. They also follow the Utterings as well but the Five Tenets are the main five to follow and obey. At all cost, a cleric must follow the tenets, or else they will face disconnection - the very severing between themselves and Tahariae which has major and serious after effects. Anyone who is unlikely to follow the tenets isn't advised to become a cleric as breaking a tenet or uttering after being connected will result in disconnection. The tenets are: >Shelter and protect thy brothers and sisters in Tahariae.< >Do not stray in thy dedication to Tahariae.< >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.< The Utterings are: --={+}=-- Ranks Prime Adherent The leader of the order. They oversee the order and makes that everything is going smoothly. They manage over the order as a whole and speaks for the order when something comes up. Their decision is final and they are vital to keeping the order going. Arch Adherent The co-leader of the order. They work alongside the leader when it comes to making decisions and can also take place of the Arch Adherent temporarily if needed to. They help ensure the order is running. The Arch Adherent is usually an Adherent that the Prime Adherent trusts greatly. Mentor Adherent Adherents that have fully completed their training in war clericalism and/or priest healing. They have spent many years within the order and are capable of connecting and disconnecting students. They are responsible for the future generation of servants for Tahariae Adherents The main body of the order. They are those connected to Tahariae and are capable of fulfilling His duty. Some may still be in training, while others are fully trained but do not wish to take the path of the Mentor. They are known for going out and exploring the land, aiding descendants and vanquishing the darkness. Apprentices New recruits to the order. They are not connected to Tahariae but are taking the Four Trials of Tahariae in order to learn and become an Adherent. They are taught by a single Mentor and are expected to do well. Special ranks Scribe An Adherent who manages over all the records and pieces of literature for the order. They are charged with writing down history and any key information that may provide to be useful for the order. They manage the library and also do research for the order if anything of importance comes up. Trial Masters Adherents who run the Four Trials of Tahariae. They are the Overseers of the Trials and they monitor and test an apprentice after their lessons are done. Trial Masters are there to ensure there are any bias passings or failures. They are typically Mentor Adherents or normal Adherents who have been deemed suitable to oversee the trials. --={+}=-- Becoming an Adherent To become a member, just state in here if you are interested, or PM myself, North_, Hardstyleraver2, or anyone you know is an Adherent on either the forums or on the server and we’ll try and set up a RP scenario for you to join our ranks.
