THE ORDER OF ITHAR’KAEL

THE ORDER OF ITHAR’KAEL

Seekers of Truth and Keepers
of ancient Wisdom

"Truth is no mere opinion. It is a mystery that reveals itself only to those who dare to question everything — even their own being."

🜁 Overview: In Pursuit of Hidden Knowledge

The Order of Ithar’kael is bound neither by the dogmatic balance of the Silv’irinthar nor by the control and fear of the Vorr’kael. Instead, they devote themselves to the pursuit of absolute truth.

For them, knowledge is the purest form of power — and also the greatest responsibility. They are scholars, archaeologists, and researchers — but also shadow-walkers, venturing into the world’s most hidden corners to uncover mysteries that others fear.

They do not worship gods in the traditional sense, but see them as part of a larger cosmic framework to be deciphered. The Ithar’kael believe that neither magic nor the Wyldheart are bound by morality — both are neutral forces whose true nature can only be understood through study and experience.

Philosophy & Belief — The Three Pillars of Enlightenment

• Knowledge is light, yet light can blind.
  Not every truth is meant to be shared; some have the power to destroy. Wisdom must temper understanding.

  Magic is neutral — a tool of the world.
  Ithar’kael teach that magic is a natural force, neither inherently good nor evil. It must be approached with care, not suppressed, not unleashed recklessly.

  All is connected, but nothing absolute.
  The world cannot be reduced to simple contrasts of light and shadow, order and chaos, life and death. True insight comes only to those who transcend rigid thought.

Role & Goals of the Order

• Guardians of Forgotten Knowledge:
  Ithar’kael safeguard ancient writings, lost chronicles, and magical relics hidden in ruins, secret libraries, and otherworldly realms.

• Traveling Scholars & Philosophers:

  They roam across kingdoms and wild lands, piecing together the forgotten mysteries of civilizations past.

• Seekers of Truth & Decoders of Reality:
  Rejecting dogma, they question all teachings. For the Ithar’kael, reality has countless layers, and truth can only be revealed through careful study and experience.

Relations with Other Orders

🌿 Silv’irinthar: The Ithar’kael respect their focus on self-knowledge but consider them overly idealistic.

⚖️Vorr’kael: The Vorr’kael see the Ithar’kael as dangerous, accumulating knowledge that is not meant for everyone.

Organization & Structure

• The Scriptbearers: Preserve and decipher ancient texts and lost magic.

• The Seekers: Travelers searching for hidden secrets across realms.

• The Unveilers: Spiritual philosophers striving to unravel the great mysteries of the world.

• The Shadowkeepers: Ensure that dangerous knowledge does not fall into the wrong hands.

Collaboration with Thal’draen & the Academy

Assigned with gathering soul memories, the Ithar’kael work closely with the Academy. Some of their members are stationed deep within the Archives, guarding and decoding the most sacred texts.

Internal Conflicts & Challenges

• What to do with dangerous knowledge? Not every truth should be revealed — but who decides what remains hidden?

• Is there an ultimate, universal truth? Or is knowledge infinite and always subjective?

• When does knowledge become power? Some Ithar’kael struggle with the temptation to use what they discover for their own ends.

Conclusion

The Order of Ithar’kael stands in contrast to dogmatic control and blind harmony. They are seekers of truth, explorers of the past, and guardians of ancient knowledge.

Their goal is not power or dominion — it is the relentless pursuit of knowledge.

Yet every truth comes at a price.
