Platinum Knight

When the Nemisians pushed into the lands of Tev, they were enslaved. During their enslavement, they lost a part of themselves. Once they were free, they began revisiting such horrors on their captors. A great Knight in shining platinum armor visited the warcamps and taught the warriors of the Bloodroyal how to properly wage war and to do so with honor and nobility, and he introduced the notion of chivalry to the Empire.
After the war, the concept of chivalry spread quickly throughout the kingdoms. The concept was said to be the work of the Platinum Knight.
Originally the Platinum Knight was said to be the son of the Warrior and his worship was accepted as a minor deity. When the faithful of the Platinum Knight went to war with The Eight-Pointed Star, the Platinum Knight was “revealed” to be a demon in disguise and many embarrassing details about high-ranking members of the Church were revealed.

Temples to the Knight are extremely rare, as the Platinum Knight didn't appreciate being honored by objects, taking into account deeds instead. The few temples that were made to honor him were beautiful and elegant buildings with simple furniture and no embellishment or adornment. Those temples had meeting rooms where followers could gather to plan their next campaign against the Dark Queen, and a few smaller rooms where individuals could pray, meditate, or rest in privacy.

Tenets of Faith

  1. Courage: More than bravado or bluster, one must have the courage of the heart necessary to undertake tasks which are difficult, tedious, or unglamorous, and to graciously accept the sacrifices involved.
  2. Justice: One must hold themselves to the highest standard of behavior and knows that “fudging” on the little rules weakens the fabric of society for everyone. 
  3. Mercy: Words and attitudes can be painful weapons in the modern world, which is why one must exercise mercy in his or her dealings with others, creating a sense of peace and community, rather than engendering hostility and antagonism.
  4. Generosity: Sharing what’s valuable in life means not just giving away material goods, but also time, attention, wisdom and energy — the things that create a strong, rich and diverse community.
  5. Faith: In the code of chivalry, “faith” means trust and integrity, and one must always be faithful to his or her promises, no matter how big or small they may be.
  6. Nobility: This word conveys the importance of always upholding one’s convictions, especially when no one else is watching.
  7. Hope: More than just a safety net in times of tragedy, hope is present every day in one’s positive outlook and cheerful demeanor.

Holidays

The Platnum Knight's worshipers and clergy have no formal rituals or ceremonies. Those who follow the Platinum Knight believe in the philosophy of "praying through their deeds". The only activity that was considered as something like a ritual was the Rite of Rebirth, the swearing of a knight's oath, laying his previous self to rest and choosing his new life.
