"The seeking of Knowledge Solace your soul, and the foundation of Love hold you firm"

Common Blessing


The people of the Telarion respect Silas and Salana, revering them the most out of any other of the pantheon, holding their teachings above all others their daily lives revolve around their worship and following of their teachings strictly.

Temples are commonplace and daily worship is expected of the pair twice a week at minimum,priests and priestess are often consulted about daily decisions in ones life. Striving to seek balance with the pair in all their dealings.

They view the zealous prosecution of those of the south with disdain and abhorrence at the blind faith followed by the inquisition in its dealings with others. The people view any of this organization with little regard and don't recognize their authority seeing it as cruel and barbaric.

If anyone is accused of heresy they would have to be kidnapped from the lands forcibly. The Telarion's preferring to examine the evidence and deal with the accused on their own in a court of unbiased summoned from both their lands and the south, rather than hand them over. Though they can ore then petition the council to hand over the accused to face justice in the south.

While they work the other gods into their society they do it threw the use of symbolize in their dealings and government. Using each gods respective symbol depending on the area of dealings. Such as the golden coin of Jax for commerce or use of chance.

Each god is honored in their own turn for their contribution to life and the grand cycle of living. the only gods deemed not worth following are Crusade for his aggressiveness and love of combat. Skragg for the raising of the un-dead and his command over the un living and love for death and all things associated with it. As well as Jsihrim for he represents chaos, destruction and insanity, out of all the three he is the most feared for losing one’s mind and knowledge is a great fear.

The Following of Silas


In their devote following of Silas teachings they hold his first four in the most reverence and love. Always striving to gain more knowledge and push the boundaries of what is known to the world, seeking to unravel its secrets for the benefit to their people. Though getting them to part with their secrets and knowledge is very difficult, most of the larger libraries are heavily guarded and have restricted access to all but the most learned and the priests of the order.

Seeking to always preserve the knowledge of the past so that none may forget it lest its mistakes be repeated. They are always actively seeking new areas to explore and uncover so that they may document them and preserve what they find in museums for all to learn from freely.
Silas’ Doctrine:
1. You shall respect the worth of words.

2. You shall endeavor to promote and spread Knowledge, Information- Harm not records nor history.
3. You shall do not to lie nor covet, for such things may twist the pure truth of Knowledge.

4. You shall remain faithful to thy pledged word.

5. You shall be rightfully generous in the giving of information.

6. You shall respect the Divine Law.




Following of Salana


Family and closeness of community play an important role in the daily life of all the Telarion's. Respecting ones father and mother not lying to them or any others of the family is a closely guarded value. One tells their family everything so that they may flourish and live together in harmony.

Song is often heard flowing out from be it the simple village or town in sweet melodies each and every citizen regardless of skill is encouraged to sing praise to the gods in his or her own way.

Adultery is immensely frowned upon in the lands it has sever and drastic forms of punishments. One should be faithful to his lover he or she chooses for life, status in life does not play effect on marriages. If one proves enough merit and skill to the person's family and both families agree to the marriage the union is encouraged, though once married it is life bound their is no divorce in the society.

In its entire history they have not once drawn blade upon a fellow Telarion unless it is for military spar or training. This is viewed as a deep rooted aspect for if any other draws harm upon a fellow citizen the punishment befits the doctrine and they forfeit their heart in payment.

Sallana‘s Doctrine:
1. Do not to worship any other Deities, for you only need to worship I.

2. Give prayers in song, and have the music be only pleasing to the ear.

3. Keep honourable to thy Mother, and thy Children.

4. When married, if the man doeth not to keep his family happy, the wife is permitted to leave and take with the Children, and take with half of assets.

5. Do not to commit Adultery.

6. To raise weapon against your own blood is to spill your own blood, and one guilty of this transgression has forfeit their heart.

7. Pay respects to the Divine Law.


The Dead
The burying of the dead and remembrance of them play a important and grand affair for anyone. If they be peasant or noble when a family member dies there is a state of mourning held for the family. They wear dark solid colors of their choosing typically a deep black or red.

The mourning period lasts for a week that is broken up into several stages in which the family is given a break from all work with pay.The first stage lasts two days where the family goes into a state of silence and reflection as the body is prepared for funeral. After this the body is then transferred to one of the underground family tombs for burial, while doing this the family takes instruments and to song. Singing of the members life and deeds and what they meant guiding his soul to the afterlife.

After the body is interred the remainder of the week is spent in feast and joy, more songs are sung and spent knowing that their family member is in a better place. Knowing their fate lies in that of the gods and regardless of what happens that they will be reunited in this or the next.

Magic
The Telarion's view magic with an mixture of great immense interest for its secrets and yet a fear of what they do no understand. They secretly covet and desire magic with an immense relish that borders on the pure obsession.

Though they wouldn't show it publicly it is said they would pay a high price for any workings of magic and offer great rewards for even the capture of a live mage for study to yield their secrets. Under the proper secure conditions of course.

Life

The Telarion people have a different way to view the world then the rest of Altera while they still respect the gods and worship them. They hold a personal view onto the world that there is a great pattern about the world that the gods themselves weave. Each person has their own strand that is woven into a great pattern of life, with each and every interaction we impart and entwine a little bit of each thread onto one another.

Each small action made in life weather it be killing of a animal to eat, talking to someone or buying a new necklace or plow. Each action rebounds threw out the world itself and is woven into the pattern of life itself,the current patterns that have passed and been woven are the following.

The Pattern of Darkness

This pattern refers to the age of Queen Grief when she threatens the world and constant battles were held Against her. This goes threw the leaving of the old world for this one up till the final battle against queen grief herself. Including the great upheaval of the Crown wars that tore the realm asunder with divisions.

The Pattern of Gold

This period was during the leader ship under Queen leminth after queen grief was defeated. Speaking to the golden age that was brought and the stability. All the way up till her reign ended and brought about the Pattern of Chaos.

The Pattern of Chaos.

This pattern is the time of after the crown and the destruction of port silver and the council. With so many kings empires and kingdoms popping up around the realm,causing great strife and chaos in the lands. This pattern has given way to the Pattern of the gods.

Marriage

Marriage holds a very significant part of the livelihood of the people be they peasant or noble. Celebrated with as much ceremony and as lavishness both families can afford together not an expense is spared.

The ceremony involves a priestess of Salana for the ceremony as well as it's own special touch for the wedding. They are often held out doors in gardens or in large chapels these are then bound together in a small rendition of the following.

The couple often speak their own vows when this is done their hands are bound together with ribbons. The priest and or priestess bounds the hands with 13 different ribbons each having their own explanation.

1.Red signifies our passion and strength.
2.Orange is our bounty and mutual support
3. Blue is our patience devotion and peace
4. Purple is our power, but also our humility and responsibility.

All thirteen ribbons are laid across the hands lovingly and carefully then when the last one is laid upon them. They are all tied together and bound together till the end of the wedding only at the end when the wedding night is to happen are the ribbons broken.

The couple also drink from a chalice of wine representing Sallana and commitment of the two, each holds the cup for the other to drink out of.
