The Church of The Guardians



= The Church of The Guardians = The Church of The Guardians is the idea that stone giants once roamed the lands of Rathnir. While some are worshipped as deities, they are still mortal, just powerful to the point where they can be mistaken for such. Just like people, they were made into the world of Rathnir by some otherworldly presence. The difference is, they are wise enough to not question their origins. Just to know that what matters is what is happening in the present. Each guardian symbolizes a key piece of life. Whether it be peace or war. Youth or wisdom. They once even had wars with each other and the people. Taking sides of different peoples and fighting alongside them.

The Eternal Truths
The Eternal Truths are the three main rules that Osmorf the Great set back in the first guardian war of ancient times. They are as follows:

1. Loyalty
Make a promise. Swear an oath. Obedience. Break these, and you are not even different from the sheep that are herded around. Scum. Inferiors.

2. Honesty
Be honest. Do not tell a lie. Honesty is the one thing that keeps your life sacred.

3. Respect
Respect the people who command you. Your elders. Your blood and flesh. Your friends. You enemy. Respect all. Especially yourself.

Para
Para, guardian of peace. He holds the banner of his allegiance with him at all times. Brother of Damo, guardian of war. Has defended many weak nations in ancient times from warmongering peoples and guardians.

Damo
Damo, guardian of war. Brother of Para. He holds the sword, Asfelheim, and the shield, Mortem, forged in the first lava pool ever created. Has waged wars on many guardians and people and is feared by many.

Fisher
Fisher, the guardian of youth. The youngest of the guardians. While, yes, only be a few milliseconds, but still youngest. He often takes sides out of impulse, not knowing any better, lacking wisdom. Also, he created salmon and filled the many rivers of Rathnir with such.

Osmorf the Great
The most famed of the guardians. Being the guardian of light, he brought light to the world. Waging a century long war in ancient times before people were even advanced. He vanquished the darkness and triumphed bringing light to the world.

Facolet
Facolet is the guardian of wisdom. The counterpart to Fisher. He takes no sides. He is true netreuality.
