The Order of Eternal Light is a Meeting Hall Organization focused on improving the understanding of the Arkati. It is based out of Solhaven.

Purpose

The stated goal of The Order:

The Order seeks enlightenment of the Arkati for all peoples through the study of the various religions, religious orders, rituals and cults on Elanthia. All are welcome in the sharing of knowledge, even the faithless should they earnestly seek to study the Gods.

The Order investigates reported Arkati activity involving mortals, seeking to interview witnesses and document encounters.

Core Tenets

Members of The Order are to be:

  • Curious
  • Open-minded
  • Vigilant
  • Devoted

Insignia

The insignia of The Order of Eternal Light is three faintly scaled interlocking bronze rings on a field of emerald.

  • The three rings are a reflection of the never ending pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment.
  • The left ring represents mortals.
  • The right ring represents the Arkati.
  • The central ring represents the unbreakable connection between Gods and mortals.
  • The faint scales covering the rings are a reminder of the connection to the Drakes, for without them, the Arkati do not exist.
  • The bronze used to fashion the rings is a symbol of humility, knowing that true enlightenment is impossible for mortals.
  • The backdrop of green symbolizes the natural world in which all mortals exist.

Structure

Keepers

As the scholars and chroniclers of The Order, the Keepers are responsible for the safekeeping and curation of The Order's manuscripts and archives. A Keeper's role is not purely academic. They seek further enlightenment by hosting lectures and debates, guiding pilgrimages, and conducting experimental rites and rituals.

Seekers

As the investigators of The Order, the Seekers are responsible for investigating all reported Arkati activity in Elanthia as they become aware of the encounters. Tenacious is their pursuit of the truth, Seekers interview witnesses, collect tangible evidence, and thoroughly document their findings to create an accurate record for posterity.
