The Platinum Church

Platinum Church The platinum church is a famous church founded in Xiria by Orvile Jarith, A Leonin Paladin who was in service to Queen Farya in the old times of past Aezraghn and Xiria. Since Xiria was Founded in the year 200, Orvile Jarith is the oldest living leonin, He is the first follower of the Platinum Dragon and instituted the church to be in service to Queen Farya but when she tragically died in 275 due to natural causes, Orvile changed the motive to be a defender to her daughter, Queen Saran. The platinum Church Changed from being a serviceable charitable church to more of a local militia. Queen Saran doesn't use the Platinum church as much as her mother did, the majority of the Platinum church focuses on healing and giving free charitable services to the general public, however Jarith has made the once large part of the church into a smaller faction called the Platinum Defenders. The Platinum Defenders are a group of Kensei who are skilled in the ways of the blade, they fight with ferocity and do whatever it takes to win, every Platinum Defender must take an oath at the Platinum Tree, a spiritual place in the mountains south of Xiria, Here a Defender takes an Oath to the platinum Dragon and in return they are given a piece of divinity. Orvile Jarith does not oversee the Platinum Defenders, he leaves that to a comrades son, A golden tabaxi named Sun. The leader and bastion of the platinum church, known for completing the most amount of tasks in the name of the dragon. Sun is an accomplished fighter who has been through several war-like fights in other cities. When the Dragol Armada landed on the coasts of Aezraghn the Platinum church was one of the first to know, Sun went along with the small team tasked with getting information, it was then that the workings with The armada and The queen began. To the outside it seems like tensions are high but the queen has made accommodations for the captain and his team in xiria. The other cities are unsettled with xiria seemingly getting more power and possibly being able to finally overtake all of Aezraghn however the Platinum church has been very stern in not letting the dragolians take more than given, Orvile Jarith has tasked the defenders with aligned loyalty to the land and not those who run it, but most of all allegiance and loyalty to the platinum Dragon.     The platinum Tree: The platinum tree is a stone cropping on top of a mountain, the cold snowy tops have receded in his spot and grass has grown, 7 stones lie in a circle and one large boulder in the center, each stone has been draped in a fine cloth that hasn't been worn, and strung around the center boulder is a medallion made of platinum that depicts a tree, and the tree resembles wings and the trunk the head of a dragon.   The citadel: The group of 4 people are trying to infest the church and make it better and less asshole ways the four people are nameless? :/ not many huge figure heads but 1 and the 3 are smaller no names and are planting corruption that changes the groups motives in many ways   The moon mirror: The mystical and magical place located in the northern jungles of uran made in a time long forgotten able to see across to whatever you want to see with the words “eyes of the broken path grant me vision” to others who didnt recount the spell can't see it but the person whos done it can see what they wish in the water only happens in a very special occasions and those are currently unknown other than sun   The Catacombs: under the church there are a massive catacombs where there's a labyrinth of skeletons and there are many things to find down here weapons, demons, eldritch horrors, riches, tales which have been told and forgotten by time, none can tell but they are down there waiting to be discovered?       10 Laws of The Platinum Defenders For every law broken one must starve for 7 days and 7 nights, and pray to the platinum dragon that he gives you mercy. A Platinum Defender must never harm a disciple of the platinum dragon The defenders duty is to strike hard and fast like an enemy, do to them what they would do to you, cut no corners, entertain no law other than the law of the Platinum Dragon. A Defenders badge must never be disgraced, it may never drop in battle and must never fall upon the earth Fight with the will of the dragon but the intent of your enemy Marry none other than the dragon, he is your devotion and your love. You and the dragon are one, a wound to you is a disgrace to the Platinum Dragon, you may never inflict a scratch upon your own flesh Show no mercy, Judge quick, Kill or be Killed, your judgement must be like a dragons. Do not kill with Malice, kill with pity, Kill with pride, judge not but pray they return to light. By any means necessary the will of the dragon must be exacted.
