To the last of my breath, I pledge to thee-
There is so much to experience and learn, and there are so many paths to walk
To this, I offer you all to walk the Path of the White- and there, at the end of the road, may we find Joy
Per the desire of the Wishgranter Mitra Prithvi, Arcadia intends to become a host to a new holy order of mages, scholars, and students dedicated to learning and preserving the Lost Arts of Holy Magic, the Healing Arts, Cleansing, and Sealing; with intent to learn further about the Arts of the Unseen, and one day discover the secrets of White Magic. To that end, the Wishgranter himself appeals to the hearts of the devoted, intent on trying to help them realize their dreams of protecting those they care for, healing the weak, and walking the path of Harmony.
Known colloquially as the Seekers of Joy, anyone aligned with the major nations of Meranthe is able to pledge support, or become a student; with a fair group of mentorship, the aim is to learn, preserve, and pass on the holiest of arts to help devise the means to combat lingering threats of the continental threat of demons, witches, and necromancers, referred to lovingly as the wicked.
There is no definitive religion or belief for anyone who chooses to walk the path of the Seekers, though their most prominent members follow the path of, and are often radiants of Azalea Aubreen, Jiuweihu, the constant Pylae, and the original ten members of the Pantheon; to that end, this order also holds a bastion of religious faith and knowledge for a lost soul to cling onto.
ROLES
HIGH KEEPER
The head of the Order; the High Keeper oversees the procurement of mentorship, advancement of rank, leadership of the Seekers,, and the desired path forward; they are, hopefully, a source of knowledge that spans decades of experience within Meranthe and has lived through trials of the continent's worst moments, if only to reclaim humanity's grace once more; ideally, the High Keeper holds a plethora of magical power and mastery over some semblance of the unseen arts, or a mastery of the Light. They are a flower in full bloom, graced by the world.
The current High Keeper is Mitra Prithvi.
MAVEN
The right hand of the High Keeper; this role is the de-facto leadership in the High Keeper's absence, and holds responsibilities relevant to such. Their ideals oft match that of the High Keeper, and to that end, they may be made heir to the Order in time regardless of their prowess; in some ways, the Maven stands as the personal student of the High Keeper. They are a flower yet to fully bloom, nurtured by those who've come before.
The current Maven is Linden Aubreen.
VIRTUOSO
A defined master of the Light, a Virtuoso is a definitive master in whatever art they've opted to partake in; graced by the Light or some other unseen power, they stand as a paragon of the Order's ideals, and may be renowned as one of the continent's finest healers, masters of a protective art, a skilled cleanser of curses and a master of purification, or something inbetween.
MAESTRO
An adepti of their chosen art- though few may hold the rank of Maestro, they hold exceptional control, talent and skill in their chosen art, and may even rival the magical knowledge of a Virtuoso; though to that end, they have yet to refine and walk their own personal Path.
SCHOLAR
A personal student of a Virtuoso or Maestro, or a Seeker who has stayed with the guild for a long time; they have walked the path of the White for long enough to be recognized as something beyond a Seeker, and yet still to realize the path of a Maestro; they are on the cusp of something great, and will be guided further onto that path.
SEEKER
A Noblesse who has become recognized as a student of the order. They have yet to grow into their own, but have been recognized as one with potential.
NOBLESSE
A newcomer, young student, or mere affiliate of the order. They are charged with grasping every ounce of knowledge they can, like a bud searching for nutrients.
To join the Seekers of Joy, inquire IC with Mitra Prithvi, Maven Linden Aubreen, or a Virtuoso or Maestro, which you will have to find out IC!
