Description: Creed: "From Light We are Made. To Light We Shall Return" Hierarchy:All brothers and sisters of the light are equal in creation, just different. The Dominion of Saints (Or Simply: The Dominion) is a role-playing based household for Amtgarders who have characters who follow the religious teachings of the Radiant White Light. It is the White Light, and the guardian, The Phoenix, that grant all Amtgardians their power. It is through the white light that we can create or destroy...sending wizard's fire or the ability to resurrect. Even the power to coerce others with fear or awe...these are the powers of the light. Theological struggles and differences between each member of faith is common, since the white light has granted different gifts and burdens to others. Whether it is by God, a god or goddess, or pantheon of deities that we all exist is unsure. It is merely known that the light bore us, gave us its power and through the light shall pass all destruction and creation. Hierarchy of Beings- The hierarchy is a system denoting proper respect to those creatures in closeness to the light. Even children of darkness, although pitied, despised, or feared, should be respected as all things of good and evil come from the light. Shadow and darkness are after all, children of light itself. Attacking anything 3rd tier and above is outright forbidden, for these beings are utterly sacred. All things above humanoid (above the 6th tier from the top) should be treated with respect and dignity and given a wide birth. One should be hesitant to slay any creature above itself and should only defend itself against it, and pray for atonement should one slay or mortally wound it. Anti-Paladins due to their affinity with the dark side of the phoenix are still considered close to the light (though they may deny it). Slaying one of the same Tier level is something that should not be taken lightly, however, one must always defend themselves and others against agressors. Undead of Spirit or Intelligence and Demons due to their agreesive, baleful, and overal ill nature are considered far away from the light and thus of lesser importance. One may destroy these pitiful, horrid beings at any time. However, no joy nor sport should be made of doing so. Undead of Flesh (non-intelligent) and Animations of Non-Extra-Planar Nature are furthest from the light, being mere shells controlled by magic. Since one can destroy the shell without harming the magic (a thing of the light) they of little to no importance. However, be mindful when destroying bodies they they were once a loved being of light. Hiearchy of Beings 1st Tier- The Light itself 2nd Tier-The Phoenix 3rd Tier-Arch Angels 4th Tier-Angelic Heroes, Dragons (including Ryu but not Wyverns) and Titans 5th Tier-Devas, other Good Extra-Planar beings, Paladins (and even Anti-Paladins) 6th Tier-All other Humanoids, Pegusi and Unicorns 7th Tier-All other Beasts, Neutral Extra-Planars 8th Tier-All Aboreals 9th Tier-Etheral and Intelligent Undead (including Wraiths and Vampires) 10th Tier- Demons (Evil Extra-Planars) of all kinds 11th Tier-Undead of Flesh 12th Tier- Constructs and Animations of non-Extra-Planar nature The 10 Great Laws: ~Thou shalt honor the light and the gifts it has given you. ~Thou shalt obey the Hierarchy of Being and uphold respect for all creatures male and female alike. ~Thou shalt rule your actions with a noble heart and clear mind ~Thou shalt remember that no being should be used as a means to an end, but as an end unto itself ~Thou shalt act only according to that way whereby you can at the same time will that all should act within that way. ~Thou shalt face life and death with courage and dignity. ~Thous shalt respect all faiths and creeds, based on love, compassion, and/or honor. ~Thou shalt uphold the balance of destruction and creation ~Thou shalt lead through example. ~Thou shalt atone for all and any transgressions through thought, prayer and action. The Basic Ideas Behind the 10 Laws: ~Give thanks often, without the light there would be nothing ~Nurture natural gifts such as learning ~Men and women in all respects are importantn and equal ~All beings, lesser and greater, deserve respect. ~Act with honor and kindness (noble heart) ~Act in control (steer clear of too much rage or over-intoxication) ~Act in ways that you believe all people should act ~Respect all beleifs and peoples and cultures based on good things. ~Do not over destroy or over create, keep the natural ways in tact. ~Repent and atone for sins on others and on the ways of Light. Role-play notes: Play as a religious character. Use the archetype "Holy Warrior" or "Zealot" from Celestial Codex or discover your own role-playing niche. Give thanks before eating and after each battle. Do battle with evil whenever possible and vanquish it in the name of the light.
