The Loristal: Excerpt from the 'Wills of Kethar'

From the hallowed writings of Kethar, as found upon the ancient willstones.

Chapter IV: On The Mandate of Vigilance

In the epoch of shadows, when the stars began to whisper of the second Sundering, Kethar, our forebearer, inscribed upon the celestial willstones the eternal mandate for the Kethari Order. It is not merely to gather the scattered whispers of wisdom or to bind the fragmented tales of yore; our calling transcends the mere preservation of lore. We stand as the vigilant sentinels at the crossroads of destiny, the custodians of humanity's collective memory and soul.

"Let it be known across the realms of Te'ralm, from the expanses of Eldoria to the shadowed reaches of the Frostfell, that the Kethari Order is the bearer of the flame of knowledge. In our sacred halls, every word uttered, every deed enacted, and every dream dreamt shall find sanctuary. For in the tapestry of human experience lies the key to thwarting the darkness that seeks to engulf our world once more.

Therefore, I decree, with the stars as my witness and the earth as my scribe, that we shall not falter in our sacred duty. We shall gather the lore of ages, the tales of heroes and the whispers of the winds. Each scroll penned, each stone imbued, and each memory cherished is a bulwark against the tide of oblivion.

But be ever watchful, my children of the light, for the harbinger of the Sundering shall not announce its arrival with fanfare or fury. It shall come on the breath of indifference, the whisper of forgotten truths, and the silence where once knowledge did flourish. Let not the flame of curiosity wane, nor the fortress of our resolve crumble.

We are the Kethari, the keepers of the blue fire, the guardians of the gate. In our hands rests the salvation of Te'ralm, a trust as weighty as the vault of heaven and as delicate as the web of dew at dawn. Let this text, The Wills of Kethar, be your guide and your oath, a beacon to light the path through the darkest nights and a reminder of the light we serve.

So arm yourselves with wisdom, for it is the sword and shield against the encroaching dark. Cultivate strength, not of the body, but of the mind and spirit. For when the second Sundering comes, it shall be the enlightened heart and the vigilant soul that stands as Te'ralm's final bastion.

In this sacred endeavor, we are united, bound by our solemn oath to preserve, to protect, and to persevere. For as long as the stars shall grace the heavens and the rivers caress the lands, so too shall the Kethari Order stand steadfast, ever watchful, ever ready."

Thus spoke Kethar, in the dawn of our order, setting forth our path eternal. Let us walk it with unwavering faith, unyielding determination, and an unquenchable thirst for the light of knowledge.

For in our hands rests the fate of not only Te'ralm, but those of the remnant worlds. Of which we have only whispers. But in those whispers are hidden rumblings of the Betrayer's return. Sol long as in our hearts burns the unending light of Kethar's will, so will we be watchful against the Moon Daughter's coming.

So goes the will of Kethar.
