Taltheons are templars that defend and further, often employing martial means, the goals of their gods, those of the Gray Pantheon. Taltheons are neutral in the struggle between Light and Darkness. They do not seek to balance the two; rather they and their gods are apart from that battle, using their energy towards other ends.

Taltheons excel in battle, and are trained in the use of various weapons and types of armor. They are further rewarded for their loyalty and faith with a few prayers to help them destroy those who would impede the faithful of their gods’ churches.

Taltheons are typically the least aggressive of the holy warrior classes (avernons, taltheons and pandions), since they are not engaged in a standing battle with an opposing side. Most often, the gods they serve are not as aggressive or single-minded as those of the Darkness and the Light, and this is reflected within a taltheon’s personality and mission. (more…)

Avernons are templars that serve the cause of darkness in relation to their deity’s faith. They excel in battle and are further rewarded for their loyalty, faith and devotion with a few prayers to help them destroy those who stand in opposition of their ways.

Avernons are rather single-minded in their goals and purpose – they serve the dark gods to destroy the followers of the Light. Those who show compassion and mercy to others also show weakness, and would make poor avernons. Avernons should be not considered mindless drones or mindless killers – they serve in whatever ways their gods deem they should serve. (more…)
