The Mantle of Zodarae

Mantle (in its meaning of a Figurative cloak) Zodarae
The Mantle of Zodarae is a religion following the eldest child of Xuena, Zodarae, the Goddess of the Moon and of Mournstead. Zodarae is incredibly fond of her followers, and has been known to present blessings to them upon a whim.
The Mantle of Zodarae is in charge of the paladin school for Zodarae, an institution in Solareglos.
They are a subdivision of the Mantle of Xuena, and thus also teach the teachings of Xuena alongside Zodarae, though Zodarae's teachings are seen as higher priority and more 'correct', though the twos teachings do not differ all that greatly.
