When the God of War calls upon his faithful, the Sons of Valor heed his summons.
Comprised of warriors, knights and mercenaries, the Sons of Valor aim to defend Altera and its people from any and all threats that would seek to cause harm.
Bound not by race nor nation, the Sons of Valor unite as brothers and sisters of War, veterans and recruits alike. Each aim to show the world and Valiant all that they can and will do when faced with greater threats. A shield against the enemies of man, they will remain vigilant.

Tenets of the Crusader:
» Hold true to thy given word.
» Fester not thy body to disrepair.
» Do not abandon diplomacy out of lust for war.
» Defend those that cannot defend themselves.
» Do not betray thy companions, people, or traditions.
» Tremble not upon the field of battle, but always
remember the better part of valor.

Who is Valiant?
Valiant is a God in our great Alteran Pantheon of Divine Gods and Goddesses whose portfolio contains the domains of Justice, War, Loyalty, Courage, Defence, Honor, Fatherhood and the Unending Endeavor. He is also the patriarch of his own subpantheonic entity known as the Court of Conflict. This Court resides in Valiant's holy domain and acts as his cherished mesne. Valiant differs most from the other members of our Pantheon in his humility. He seeks to assist mankind in finding ways to defend itself and fight the enemies they face, without seeking praise and devotion.
-|-
Since his ascension Valiant often acts as the presiding Judge of Inter-Pantheonic disputes and conflicts, known for his wisdom and just judgments. In times where the entire Pantheon is threatened, the Gods gather in Valiant's holy realm in a vast citadel wherein they discuss their martial plans as equals.
-|-
During the Archon crisis, Valiant and Ignis Synnove both represented the seeking of a lawful and peaceful solution to the feud between the angelic titan and their former master. It was through the fair judgement of Valiant that Archon was spared and given an apology from The Grey Lady and in return, Archon allowed the lost souls to return to the river and be reborn once again.

The Court of Conflict
No war is won alone. The five spirits of War make up Valiant’s retinue and Court of Conflict.
-
When Crusade took the mantle of War God, it was widely accepted and believed that Skeira, Kilrox and Korigon died. However, can a God die? Of course not, as Harateth became Ignis and Vermella was taken into Sallana’s service so too were these War Gods of old embraced by Crusade into the first Court of Conflict. Crusade took their mantles and forced their subordination and when Rahas fell to Aldred and the Blessed of Ignis, he did not die but was taken under Crusade’s wing and into the Court of Conflict. It was in the wake of this Divine War that Valiant rose and bested Crusade to take a head of the Court of Conflict as Crusade himself had done years before.
-
These spirits no longer have the power to perform great miracles, as such, but can act in Valiant’s name and while rarely seen in person; each of the spirits exude an aura that amplifies their attributes to all who experience it.​

Korigon- The Just will Triumph​

Honour - Fair Fight - Victory​

Korigon is the spirit of Valor and is often invoked at the break of war or before a duel. It is through Korigon’s example that Valiant shows his followers the right way to win a war.​

Korigon is Valiant’s standard bearer and is often seen on horseback, ready to lead the charge.​

​

Skeira- The Blade Cares Not for the Cause​

Martial Skill - Pain and Recovery - Dueling​

Skeira is the spirit of Duty and she is invoked in every strike of a blade. Duelists and students often call upon her example so that Valiant may lend his aid. It is through Skeira that Valiant shows his faithful the importance of one’s Duty and the sacrifices that must be made in its name.​

Skeira is found alongside the infantrymen of Valiant’s retinue, she fights with the men with only victory in mind.​

​

Kilrox- Might Makes Right​

Oppression - Rage - The Horrors of War​

Kilrox is the spirit of Carnage and unlike his brethren, he is not invoked as much as he is feared and despised. Kilrox is the reflection of a sullied warrior whom Valiant chooses to act as an example of what his followers could become without discipline and good principles.​

Kilrox is often depicted as a chained armoured figure with a face contorted by rage.​

​

Rahas- Kneel Not before Self Proclaimed Greatness​

Equality - Leadership - Community​

Rahas is the spirit of Leadership, most invoke his name and guidance with struggles in regards to their comrades or subordinates. It is through the example of Rahas that Valiant shows how one should govern rightly.​

Often found at Valiant’s right-hand side, Rahas is depicted as the loyal advisor of Valiant, ready to assist his liege in the call of war.​

​

Crusade- Fight is Unstoppable​

Determination - Unending Endeavour - Conflict​

Crusade is the spirit of Improvement, he is invoked in times of great need or before hardships. It is with his hand that Valiant bestows invigorating determination unto his followers.​

Crusade is often only found during pivotal moments of battle or hardship, it is through their inspiration that morale is kept and Valiant’s army never routes. ​

First post is updated and edited. I intend to edit the second at some point to make it look cooler and have more information than just the Court.

The members of the Sons of Valor find themselves all experiencing a similar dream. One that, unlike most, doesn't leave their mind once they wake. They dream of a vast battlefield beneath reddened skies. They see the clash of two armies, one clearly of Valiant and the other comprised of humanoid shadow figures. As the armies crash together, the din of battle assaults the senses, but the fight comes easy and soon the Valiant army is victorious. There is a voice from above, familiar to the Sons as belonging to their Father.

"Thank you. Your effort has earned its just reward."

- Valiant has gained the domain, and mantle, of Conflict. -​

The Mantle of Conflict, held by Valiant.
Cultists find that they can maintain peak physical fitness and grow their musculature much easier. They are also mostly unaffected by the smells of carnage and blood.

Goal 2/5 complete.​
