Caissawen, Afterlight Bedivere

Caissawen is actually not as strict as people may think but the religion has been warped into a magic hating one due to the large part of the following being based in Lontor.

### Garb

The followers of Caissawen that are stationed as City Watch in Lontor wear a uniform more often than not. The followers who are not part of the City watch maybe have differing outerwear apart from donning the gradient tabard. The followers holy symbol is most often a small circular silver pendant of the moon and stars.

## Followers: The Twilight Order

The Twilight Order is said to have ties to and revere silver dragons, “for they are the ones closest to becoming one with the twilight.”

A large part of The Twilight Order is centered in Lontor, A highly religious human capital that execrates magic. This seems highly hypocritical considering they keep the legendary relics.

## Ceremonies and Traditions

### Indoctrination

To be part of the religion itself is standard, at least in Lontor. To be part of the official order however you have to go through one one their ceremonies. It doesn’t exactly matter which, it won’t alter your class unless your character is truly commited to it.

### Paladin’s Code of Ennoblement

The general ceremony to become part of the religious order, it’s held as a larger event in front of the Cathedral-like castle and is only held when at least 100 people has passed the candidate process to enter every tri-mester or so. This is where people swear their oaths in order to become paladins also known as the Paladin’s code of ennoblement and become officially affiliated with the religious group which is in this case the Twilight Order. Someone from the royal family is required to be present as “God’s Witness” for this monumentous event. This ceremony is the least discreet if not to be called flaunting even. However they have definite measures to make sure the candidates words stay true.

### Cleric’s Confirmation

Clerics display their piety in a different way than words of promise and the like, actions speak louder than words. The confirmation lasts for 48 hrs surviving on only bread and water and takes place within the innermost chambers of a chapel, a circular room with a glass roof. The participant must lay in the reflection of the night, a shroud of twilight, as they call it. A pool of still water from dusk til dawn. This ceremony is more on the discreeter side.

### Druid’s rites

Similar to the cleric’s confirmation druids also lay in a shroud of twilight just under the open sky itself however the rites are taken one day or night at a time. Since it’s often out in the wild they often have a witness/mentor with them to assist/keep watch should they so need. Other parts of the rites are also taking to the skies far far close to the stars and with the help of an elder druid/archdruid shift to the astral plane. This ceremony is somewhat discreet.

### Weddings

#### Vows

“In the name of Caissawen, I — take you — , to be my shroud, to walk from dusk til dawn and dawn til dusk whether it be dark skies or colorful aurora, regardless of clear or clouded skies, in poverty and abundance, until you walk into the enternal sunset, this is my solemn vow.”

### Funerals

It is customary to follow through with funerals as soon as possible to avoid any necromantic antics hence why larger funerals are not often held due to people’s busy schedules. It’s often only family that have quick means of travel or close friends of the same.

The body is burned at dawn and ashes scattered the coming dusk.

## Tenets of the Twilight Order

***For the Greater Good.*** I will do what is needed to bring justice and I will feel no shame.

***Fight the Greater Evil.*** Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or combating a lesser evil, I choose the greater evil.

***By Any Means Necessary.*** My qualms can't get in the way of exterminating my foes.

***Piety.*** Remain true to your god and don’t stray from the path chosen for you.

***Responsibility.*** You must deal with the consequences of your actions, and you are responsible for fulfilling your **duties** and **obligations**.
