2068 AC
After a few years has passed since the rise of Solais and the ascension of two, a gold and silver religion has been in the works since 2057 AC. Now, they step forward into the light.
The Alacritas sect and portion, headed by the hamadryad Azalea Aubreen.
The Pylae sect and portion, headed by the empyrean Eleos Lux Aurea.

Dual worship is encouraged, but it is fine to follow one over the other; as long as equal respect is given.
Any who wish to learn of Alacritas or Pylae's teachings are welcomed to convene at the temple.
Priests or Priestesses of Pylae faith not originating from the Gold and Silver religion are welcomed to use the Pylae portion of the temple as they see fit.
They need only briefly discuss with either Eleos or Azalea!

The temple itself can be found northwest of Solais.

Supreme Sentinel(2): The Supreme Sentinel is one of two esteemed leaders of the Gold and Silver faith. They are the embodiment of both Lady Alacritas' and Lord Pylae's teachings and serve as the guiding light for the faithful. The Sentinel upholds the principles of protecting life, honoring the balance, and respecting nature whilst fighting against cruelty and championing hope. They provide wisdom, guidance, and lead the church on its spiritual journey.

Council Members(Any number; dependent on Sentinels): Council Members are esteemed individuals chosen from the ranks of the Grand Wardens, High Seers, exceptional Disciples, or retired members who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, wisdom, and dedication to the Church. They hold a position of influence and responsibility within the Council, actively participating in the decision-making processes and offering their expertise and guidance. Council Members play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Church, collaborating with the Supreme Sentinels and providing valuable insights from their respective areas of expertise.

(Council Members can have retain their titles and responsibilities within the Council, such as Councilors of Protection, Councilors of Research, Councilors of Healing, etc.)

Those seeking to learn or grow their faith may find respite in this church.
Those displaced can find a home within the warm atmosphere.
Those who seek to learn the art of Holy as well will find a willing teacher within Azalea.

Letters need only be sent ahead of time!

2070 AC

Since the construction of the Temple, the Radiant of Alacritas has been making silent preparations for an oncoming sermon.
Things that happened last year as of note would be that unit 3-A REEDS was brought under Alacritas faith as an Initiate.
A welcomed addition by the hamadryad who personally had overseen the baptizing.

The Silver Sect's sermon will be held tomorrow! Those who wish to learn of Alacritas and her Faith or those who wish to be brought into it - as well as those who seek to enhance the growth of their fellows and that of Solais - are welcomed to attend. The Gold Sect is welcomed to have their own initiation and sermon at the same time, should they desire it so!
May you all ever walk in the light and be blessed by Life herself.

DATE: SAT, 7/22
TIME: 6 PM EST

The first sermon of the Alacritas faith has been concluded.
The Church welcomes Svengalf Sandsker as an Initiate, and Reeds - despite being an Initiate - has been granted assignment to the Order of Protectors.

Those who attended to gain knowledge or further their own understanding of the Goddess in particular are invited to attend next years' sermon as well.
As always, Azalea is open to discuss the Goddess and faith in great detail beyond these events - others simply need to reach out.

Those who seek understanding and care are welcome to have sanctum within the Church, and Mother Aubreen is always open to hearing individual worries and fears out for free.

2072 AC
Since the first Pylaen Crusade was completed, the Frontier had become a bustling center of activity. One such place is the Church of Heavenly Blossoms whose Alacritan sect prepares for another sermon, both for potential initiates and ranking updates, a way to discuss what has happened, and to share news. The Supreme Sentinel of Life, Azalea, has also selected a Chosen Champion.

Those seeking more knowledge are also allowed to read the books that have been penned by Initiate Svengalf, as well as the general Alacritan book that was written by Azalea's own hands.

In times of hardship, Man must be reminded their pains are heard and that they are loved, no matter what fate may come.

As always, those only and truly barred from visiting during this sermon are those of the Fel and Coven.

DATE: 8/13
TIME: 2PM EST

2073 AC

The second Alacritan sermon has concluded. It had been much longer than the previous, but for good reason.

Those that had questions, they received answers.

And those that were waiting--

had been fully initiated.

Tergiversation has entered the Order of Protectors as an Initiate of Alacritan faith.

Minerva Sanguis has done the same, although under a very specific sub-section: a dedicated force to the protection of Solais.

Reeds and Svengalf have been fully initiated as priest and priestess under the Order of Healers.

Reeds had initially been under the Order of Protectors, but owing to a change of lifestyle amongst other things, she has rightfully been placed within the Order of Healers.

Those seeking spiritual guidance are free to approach them both, as well as the Supreme Sentinel of Life Azalea.

At the finale of it all, however...

Stood Ilyas de Daum.

Many may have known him for previous mistakes or actions that lead him down a darker path; a path that could have been set in stone, due to various aspects within his life.

However, the man is now redeemed in the eyes of Alacritas' faithful Radiant. Most importantly...

He bears a Lotus Crest of Life, given to him specifically by Azalea Aubreen as her Chosen Champion of Life.
His position is that of Grand Sentry as a result of this, and he now leads the subsection of the Church that is dedicated to protecting the Tree of Hope.

The Guardians of Solais.
Those seeking to join such endeavors are encouraged to letter Ilyas de Daum.

...For now,
that ends this years sermon.

2077 AC

A FEW years have passed since the previous sermon, and soon - it was time for a new one. It was clear that it was also time for some rise in the ranks as well as any new initiations.
As usual, food and drink will be at hand for all who attend! Questions are welcomed, whether it be about the faith or anything else in particular.

SVENGALF and REEDS are expected to be given quite important roles, it seems!

2077 AC

The sermon has been concluded, although with a slight twist, as it was also the celebration of Solais' 20th Anniversary today.
His birthday, so to speak!

Prayers were made, and Azalea requested that all who attended were to write their wishes and place them upon a blossom that had grown in front of them, then push them up into the air.
In doing so, Solais had retrieved each wish and each blossom himself; those flowers now a permanent part of his canopy, his trunk, and his branches, keeping those dreams alive with him.
To keep a portion of Humanity and Mankind that the Keeper and Tree may not see in a hundred years, those wishes contained and remembered.

Svengalf and Reeds are now both Councilors of Healing -- meaning they take on similar duties as the Sentinel of Life herself, and are now able to personally host sermons and other lessons they deem fit within the Church or outside of Solais.




In passion, in love.
In life, in hope.
In kindness, in sincerity.

In love and peace, so it may be.

In the middle of the current events, as the eastern side of the Peninsula darkens and the western side finds unrest in the shake of the dunes, the bells from the Heavenly Blossoms Church ring in their warm tones : a Sermon is announced to be in preparation.
But this time, it is the Councillor of Healing Svengalf Sandsker who will be hosting the session for his first time !

It is said that the subject of this sermon will be about the difficult dilemmas we have to choose in our life. A moment for the faithful to gather, think, share and pray.

As usual, after the communal prayer, the clergy is ready to welcome your questions regarding the sermon, the alacritan faith or other subjects in the matter.
Next, the rite of Initiation will welcome those who would like to learn more and strengthen their beliefs in Life's Constant.
Then, any potential promotions will be handled for new ranks to raise in their respective rites.
And finally, the sermon will conclude. Food and drinks will be at hand for the attendees to share a little delight together.

And so, the fourth sermon has concluded. A new decade starts, and Winter fades gently to let Spring take place. Even in the harshest season, Life finds a way to regrow.
It seems like the subject has caught a lot of interest among the faithful. Whispers among the non-magi clergy mention that even the host faced the dilemma between starting earlier or postponning another day. Quite the poetic situation to bring the subject !

But the sermon didn't stop on this yet.

The church of Heavenly Blossoms welcome four new initiates : Arista, Hina Lam, Awhul and Akkor Hibiscea. May their learnings and searchs bear blossoms in their meditation towards the Constant of Life !

And something more unexpected happened at the central place of the Final Frontier, where Solais rests :


In a show of fairie lights and flowers held by the Supreme Sentinel and Radiant of Alacritas, Azalea Aubreen , the faithfuls have witnessed the raise of the Councilor of Healing Reeds Moraine into a new step of their connection to the Constant of Life. No longer she is a Priest, as she ascends to become a Radiant of Life. May she continues her duties successfully under this newfound light !

Until a next sermon is announced, the initiaties are invited to seek their mentors to exercice and practice ther abilities, be it from the Councilors or the Supreme Sentinel.

2082 AC

A new year approaches. Winter settles Meranthe into its dormant season. 
And yet, the whole region is at unrest as the forces allied to Life prepare their defense and their riposte against the forces allied to Despair-
And lately ? It seems like nature has its own struggles now.

While the Festival of Alacritas is still in preparation, some members of the Heavenly Blossom Church will help provide blessings, treatments and rations to protect the braves who will enter the Fel Garden before the planned battle.

The initiates are especially welcome to help provide the prayers and prepare the rations. This will be the occasion to test their spiritual progress and follow with another quick lesson if all four are ready.

 A moment's respite before the danger.

EDIT: It looks like the detachement from the Heavenly Blossom Church has moved to Aphros, in the words of the non-magi clerics who stayed at the Frontier
