Voln

This article is about the Lesser Spirit. For society information, see Order of Voln.

Voln is a Lesser Spirit in Elanthia and a son of the god Koar, who has dedicated his existence to the release of the undead.

Voln initially was not aware of his immortal patronage and was raised in a mortal family. His family consequently was killed by undead, and by this, Voln swore to release all the undead created by Luukos. It is believed that Koar made Voln aware of his immortality after entreaties by Lorminstra that something be done to stop Luukos' meddling in life and death.

In appearance, Voln is often a human in black armor with white shield and of grim appearance. His symbol is usually a white shield on a black field. The Order of Voln, established in 4045, was created to further his mission against the undead. He is known by one nickname as, Destroyer of the Undead.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Cleric Guilds

In a Prayer Room inside each Cleric Guild is a statue of Voln. The Prayer Rooms are considered holy shrines to multiple deities.

You see a man clad in full chainmail topped by a surcoat. He rests on one knee, a slightly battered shield at his side and an oft-nicked longsword in his hand. The weariness in his face is tempered by vigilance and grim determination.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

One of the Halls of Lessons in the Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild is dedicated to Voln. The statue is identical to that in the other Cleric Guilds. It is considered a holy shrine.

[Cleric Guild, Hall of Lessons]
Dark ebonwood panels line the walls of this small room, their mottled surfaces dimly illuminated by several large pillar candles. The statue of a man bedecked in black chain-mail is located within a small arched alcove, the white marble around him a stark contrast to the dark surroundings. The man's face is stony even for a statue, and a grimly determined expression has been chiseled upon his face. A simple black altar sits before the shallow niche, an ivory kite shield lying upon its surface.

Crafted of sturdy black vultite, the altar is unadorned and very plain-looking. A white kite shield lies downturned atop its surface.

The shield has plainly seen many battles, as evident by the scratches and dents which have been slightly hidden by a coating of dye. Inscribed across its surface in plain script are the words, "The struggle always continues, and the righteous will never abandon the fight."

Located in the Antechamber of Others is a statue of Voln. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

This figurine depicts a well-built man in full black chainmail armor covered with a belted white surcoat. His expression is grim, his eyes are full of purpose, and he holds a white shield in his hands. The symbol represented is that of a white shield on a field of black.

Ta'Vaalor Cleric Guild

One of the Chambers of Lessons in the Ta'Vaalor Cleric Guild is dedicated to Voln. The statue is identical to that in the other Cleric Guilds. It is considered a holy shrine.

[Spirit Hall, Chamber of Lessons] Neatly ordered rows of columns form the circular chamber, banners of black bearing white shields hung between them. Within the recesses of an arched niche is a towering statue of a man, his grim form knelt down in a vigilant prayer. A small altar draped with a black velvet cloth is set before the statue, its white surface appearing pale and somber within the embrace of the faint candlelight. Obvious exits: east

In the Common language, it reads:
"Control and temperance are the measure of any great commander. This Patron embodies these qualities - he endures where others would flounder. All may find valuable assets in this one's teachings."
