The Solen Mandate

===== It is said, that back in the ancient days, back when the Sergespent Kings still reigned mighty and strong, back when they first started to worship the Divine Essence of Solaris and the Cohort, in the first cities in Valrean history, a strange set of writtings appeared before one of the Kings. It was carried by pitch black eagle, measuring the lenght of three men, down before the King. At that time, the monarch's kingdom had been ravaged by war, by the Ashen, the servants of Caligo. The King, in big despair, prayed for days and nights on end, to no avail, until one day, the day the eagle arrived. It is said that Solaris himself manifested into the eagle, or at least, we know that it is indeed his will on the stone tablets left on the feet of the King. The eagle, having left the words of the All-father himself for the King who was in awe, spoke in the serene voice of a man. <<By these, rule>>. The Monarch, in shock still, started reading the tablets. =====
For your realm to prosper and live in harmony with itself within and without, and for your people to be delivered in their direst times of anguish and agony, thou must heed the words I speak. Else, thy kin will be swept from this world by the ghoulish and evil servants of Caligo, and thou shall be in pity and rage against thy own foolishness.
The First Commandment: The King of thy folk shall never contradict the warmth of my eternal glory, else thou fall into ruin. No monarch of your people shall ever pick to worship another deity other than my divine essence and that of my Cohort. Hence the Monarch of these lands and people shall not disagree with the words of a man carrying my warmth.
The Second Commandment: The worship of myself and my sacred essence shall only be done in the land where the river meets the mountain, and the sea meets the woods. Any other shrines to my glory outside that land shall be seen as an insult to my self and he who erected them shall never find peace under the Sun
The Third Commandment: For your people to bask in my glory and eternal love, know that, my humble servant: I bless all your successors to reign long and hapilly, but do not forget, thou king of my servants, you are no more than the ones you herd as if they were thy sheep. All those who reveer me under the Sun, I love and protect, and all are equally my children. You are merely my shepherd to guide my flock, you are not the Sun nor the Moon. Humble thyself and love thy subjects as you love thy kin, and if you act as if you were the essence of my Sun, wronging those who I have given you to lead, I shall damn you and your bloodline to lose my favor and to never find happiness and peace in this world nor any.
The Fourth Commandment: Know this, my loyal servant, and the world be your oyster. Thou must never split thy worship, be it in matters meager and seemingly non severe. Thou art not in control of any power to cause rifts and seek to right any wrong thou deem needs mending. Do not fall into thy greed and lust in pursuit for power, seeking to alter or split my worship the faith I bestow upon thee, willingly or not, with good intentions or not. If a split does occur, thou are to bring all who have left the path of my warmth under the One, true and Divinely ordained faith.
The Fifth Commandment: For  my blessing to pass down further in your line, wether you will it or not, a monarch of thy dynasty or one preceeding it must be blessed by a vessel carrying my divine and infallible essence. Else, let no one speak of a legitimate ruler of thy kin, for he is damned to never feel my blesseth essence guiding and protecting him, and so are damned all those who stand behind such a usurper.
The Sixth Commandment: As you know, herder of my flock, thou must give back in whatever you receive, else thou art no less blinded by greed than those who Caligo breathes through. I wish no pleasantries from you, my servant, for if I have your submission and thou do my will, I ask nothing more of you. But know, my beloved child, that thou must honor my Cohort and Consort too, for they shall be the ones to guide you through my essence, as they shall appear in this mortal world I have manifested for you and them. Else, I shall take insult in how you treat my servants and children, if thou are to foresake them.
