    Would I be jumping the gun if I suggested that we would also want to add information about the Soldier Saints of Dhaga? (Assuming that I didn’t misspell, “Dhaga”).

    Well, what do we know about the Soldier Saints of Dagha?

    1) They are a Holy Order of protectors, believing it to be their religious duty to protect those wishing to reach the gates of the First City, whatever their nationality.

    2) They are, at least somewhat, an Illiirite Order as it was a vision of Him which (according to legend) spawned the order during the First Coryani-Khitani War.

    3) They are not Priests, though that doesn’t discount the presence of Priests among their numbers.

    4) They are primarily from Eastern Onara, as I recall during the Origins ’13 LARP that the presence of Khitani in the Soldier Saints was seen as a big deal. The only canon Soldier Saints have been from Coryan and Milandir as far as I am aware. This would suggest they follow the ethos of the Mother Church more than the Khitani one.

    5) There are only 50 Official Soldier-Saints of Dagha (though they do have numerous attendants, priests, servants, etc. similar to how the Order of the Phoenix has Squires and Cantons to enlarge their order).

    6) They must pass the Rigors of the Penitent in order to join, which sounds a lot like the Nierite/Spartan coming of age ceremony, but with more religious contemplation in the Blessed Lands.

    7) They are known for riding into battle (though not necessarily fighting while mounted).

    8) They have a fascination with the High Blades of Man.

    Gentlemen,

    I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please, wait until I post an item before working on it.

    I would prefer to work on something and complete it before going on to the next item on my list.

    The Soldier Saints are coming up but not yet.

    Sorry, Henry.

    So, speaking of completing the other items on the list, where are we at with the Hunai? When you have a chance, can you give some additional feedback on what has been submitted so far?

    Also, regarding the Sama I’ve got a few questions about them that I think would be helpful for going in one direction or another.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Can you give a list to which of the following are Milandesian and which are Coryani Orders for the criteria for the Soldier Saints?

    – Brigid – Presumably the Milandesian Order of St. Brigid the Zealot of Naeraanth?
    – Niamoja
    – Damarius
    – Barabys
    – Surbotai
    – Solebac
    – Lambertus – You mentioned this one would be the Coryani Legion of the Avenger

    Also, you mentioned that it was open to Coryani and Milandisians. How about Altherans and Almerans, or other members of the Coryani or Milandisan Churches?
