Revision as of 02:19, 24 August 2009

Background & History

The Terrestrial Lions are an independent and politically removed organization of individuals who seek to bring a sense of justice and order to all within the Scavenger Lands. They function like a free roaming group of traveling monks or the magistrates of the realm. Created by a young Dragon-Blood, Arellious Kalar, with the help of a few others it looks to be a growing and influential player within the Scavenger Lands and Creation. Information on the formation and goals of The Terrestrial Lions can be found below and within The Hard Part.

The Crest

The crest of The Terrestrial Lions is pictured here, each member carries a specially crafted jade version of this as their identification as a member. These crests are specially crafted and highly valued among members and care is taken to ensure they never fall into hands of any outside the organization. Each crest is made of exactly 1 pound of pure white jade, making it especially resilient and resistant to wear, and bears the full title of the member it is given to engraved on the back. This alone makes it a unique and rare sight, not easily imitated but it goes further than that. Each crest is imbued by The Ritual of Elemental Empowerment with a special aspect of fire which gives it two unique qualities. The first allows the bearer to spend a mote of essence to cause the crest to grow warm as a unique effect, the second is that the crest can be cast into fire and when removed it will still be cool to the touch.
