Order of Life

## Overview

The Order of Life oversees healing, safe escorting, and guarding of the falsely injured or threatened mortals.. They have two headquarters: The Equipoise and the Lumen Tree. The Order of Life is powered by the Children of White’s inherited abilities. Their role in Valharion is to answer and guide those who are worthy.

The Equipoise serves as their gathering base. However, they are rarely called up to the Equipoise as they have more important duties in Valharion. Thus, they retreat more often to the Lumen Tree, where they temporarily shelter mortals.

The two Orders are headed by Rivaille, but the High Officer of this Order is Eliana.

## Roles and Duties

The Order of Life has two main roles: the Healers and the Guardians. The Guardians roam around Valharion to answer prayers. The Healers stay in the Lumen Tree to aid the mortals brought back by the Guardians.

### The Guardians

The Guardians are referred to as “Guardian Angels” or “Guardian Children”. They are invisible to the mortal eye. The Guardians only answer to those with pure hearts. The basis of this notion is judged upon the Memoria of the mortals. Once a worthy mortal’s prayer is answered, their memories are erased. If the mortals are injured or wounded, they are brought to the Lumen Tree to be treated by the Healers.

#### Prayers

Prayers are the mortals’ “most desperate calls”. These prayers are usually said with begging calls for a Guardian’s arrival. They are usually done when they are at the brink of death or great injury, or even danger. For children who are in such situations, their subconscious calls out to Guardians and they are answered automatically. However, when a mortal comes of rational age, the Guardians proceed with the judgement of Memoria.

#### Memoria

Memoria is a transcendent plane of which Guardian children, Rivaille, and the Greats can enter. It is a mortal’s subconscious that reveals their life from birth to death, or birth to present. Events that transpire in Memoria cannot be tampered with, except for events that involve divine intervention such as memories involving holy encounters. Memoria is considered the sacred life essence that is offered to Father White in exchange for reincarnation. If the memoria is bad, it is filled with Atrox energy, and is therefore offered to Mother Black.

### The Healers

The Healers nurse the wounded or sick back to life after being transported by the Guardians to the Lumen Tree. The Healers have two subdivisions: the Nurses and the Alchemists. The Nurses focus more on physical injury, and progressive mortal healing. The Alchemists are semi-pharmacists that do research and pharmaceuticals to counter any Atrox-caused viruses that a mortal could have.

#### The Nurses

The Nurses are more technical with their work. They use their powers to heal mortal-inflicted injury such as burns, wounds, elemental damage, and so on. They use equipment and medicine provided by the Alchemists to improve healing faster. Their healing powers cannot heal ALL types of diseases. For example, they cannot heal a cancerous disease unless it is caused by Atrox energy.

#### The Alchemists

The Alchemists aid the Nurses by providing them concoctions to combat internal diseases that are caused by Atrox energy. When Atrox is involved, the Alchemists make sure to purify the mortal as soon as possible. They also help prevent the spread of these diseases in Valharion by doing field research and sending their reports to The Equipoise to inform the Holy Brigade.
