=== Principles & Philosophy ===
* Aligned with The Light.
* Wishes to continue the partnership between Isparians and the few remaining Yalain.
* Wishes to harness the power of the Ley Lines to:
** Defend against The Nameless and the forces of Shadow.
** Defend Dereth, making it a secure and peaceful place.
** Free the Yalain from portal space.
* Not in direct support of Asheron, but shares many values.
* Not allied with Elysa Strathelar or New Aluvia, but not opposed to them either.
=== Criticisms ===
* Seen as too "good" by some or lacking depth.
* Conspiracy theories involving a much more pro-Yalain agenda than laid out in the Principles of the Celestial Hand, including the return of the Yalain and subsequent enslavement or eradication of the Isparian population.
