History

The opening of the Eternal Order

as told by Kira Windveil

"The Order was founded using Kira's idea on morals, my [Varwyn's] understanding of the weave, and other combined information"

The Order, has its roots just after I left the [Tribunal of] Solara, when I did, many of its members followed me out of loyalty and the like. We set some groundwork then, but it wasn't until years later, upon mount Illapse, that I put the ideal into motion. People had been slain, and continued to be killed left and right. The city entered a period of despair, and soon after, I went to the Memoriam of Gharod within the Keep sanctuary.. several followed me, including Krodoc, A narrow beam of light entered the sanctuary, and pierced the DreamBlade and amulet which I left so long ago in his memory. A small fern apparently grew from that place, and a voice spoke to me. Initially, what I was moved to found was known as the Order of Rebirth. The first person to join me, was Krodoc. We formed together under the precepts of honor and truth. We set fourth to create a faction that used its talents and abilities to do good for everyone and serve the DreamScape.

We started with a two paths, Heart and the Mind, which later became the Sun and the Moon. All members, were to be a part of a movement that would see an end to Dreamstrike, and prevent a way to defend from it, and even reverse it. We began to be drawn to certain points in the city, the city itself began to make itself known to us, limited in speech, but its reactions and gifts, began to direct us. Varwyn, put fourth terms that would represent four controlling powers, and later the founding more corporeal parts supplemented those, and the concept of the weave, and a living DreamState, we're born. Many of my family joined early, still more continued to join, thinking that what we did was exactly what needed to be done, also knowing that those of us who made up the core and founding members, we're perhaps some of the most trustworthy and honorable within the city.

We centered at Gharod's Memoriam in Illapse keep. When we crafted the Eternal Crystal, there was a battle between Volnox and Bandaret, after it ended, Bandaret retreated, and Volnox appeared with the Sectarian guides crest. The Crystal bound itself to that Stronghold, by the dreams choice. After the Crystal was formed, we were led to the old Sectarian stronghold, and at that time, Volnox assigned ranks. Though I'd forged an uneasy peace with him, he decided that as I had ruled thrice prior, that I should serve as an initiate even though many in the house disagreed with such. Instead, Ash was granted Guardian. Varwyn was named Imperator, and all were initiated. After that, we organized ourselves further, though Varwyn recognized that both she and I should both have been granted the rank of Imperator, as did the entire house, so we maintained the Counsel sessions as we did in the past to rule.

I brought several primes that I had recovered to be kept in the Rulers chambers, the blade of defiance, a broken shield, and codices from other variants to name a few. Soon after, the house pushed for me to be raised to Sentinel. During that time, a war broke out between us and the Emancipated, Laviticas' aggression being a major factor in it. Towards the end of that, I began to lose stability, and my ability to dream, with it, I lost my crest and awoke here five years later from my perspective. When I returned, the house had changed entirely, and those of us who founded the house were viewed as outcast. You see, Ash imposed many of his own personal sectarian beliefs after we lost our ability to dream. He was kept at bay when we controlled the house, but when it slipped to him, well, the rest is history.

The Charter (at the opening of the house)

Originally, the charter stated that we were protectors of the DreamState, as well as her children, as they were, imperfect or otherwise. We always were to view those we sought to improve with compassion and oblige. For ourselves, we sought furtherance of our knowledge of the DreamScape and the controlling powers, as well as unlocking the secrets that we'd not yet fully learned.

We maintained watch on the four controlling powers, Lucidity linked to Destruction, Insight Perception, Resilience linked to creation, and Willpower linked to transformation. And DreamSoul linked all as the controlling power.

We were setting fourth to also study, Anti Insight linked to Obstruction, Anti Willpower - Transmutation, Anti Lucidity - The Void, and Anti Resilience linked Annihilation, we sought to learn the subtle interplay of all 10 of the elements that make up reality.

Power, Unity, Discipline, and Obedience, were four lesser powers, that guided us as well. Our soldiers were taught another set of basic moral principles, compassion, truth, justice, and the belief that one must act responsibly, and with reason and sanity.

We hold ourselves as the 'scapes champions, those she has raised to a position of nobility if we will answer the call and carry ourselves as such. ~Varwyn

Oath of the Eternal Order

I, [Name], hereby acknowledge the power of the elemental weave of the Dreamscape and recognize my own place within it. I will diligently utilize and learn from the elements so as to strengthen my mind, spirit, and avatar.

I am Resilience; the power to create. I am Insight; the power to know. I am Insight; the power to change. I am Lucidity; the power to destroy. I am DreamSoul; the power to live. I am a dreamer, and the power is my own.

I will seek excellence in all that I do, for the improvement of myself, the Eternal Order, and the city. I will embrace both war and peace in recognition of their importance to personal and collective growth. I will dutifully obey the commands of the Imperator and Sentinels and treat my fellow consuls with becoming respect.

I swear my true faith and allegiance.

Hail, to the Order.
