Champions of the Sun (Faction)

About the Champions of the Sun
Group Name: Champions of the Sun, Templar Order of Tiikasan.

History/Foundation: The three deities that are worshiped by the Citrian are Tiikasan (Goddess of the Sun), Reshuubara (God of the Moon), and Qui'dasaah (Goddess of Earth). They are the "creators" of their world, having divided time into night and day, and created a Paradise, where people would be happy just by being there. Some time had passed, and that same world came into the view of other deities, a large world, teeming with plenty of space for other species, other races, and other animals. This caused an inevitable clash of Deities, and a treaty was reached, provided that all races remained separate, co-existing only when absolutely necessary.

The Champions of the Sun were chosen by Tiikasan to keep the Citrians aware of her presence, and constantly dedicated to her, and to make sure that her presence is felt elsewhere, as well.

Their basic beliefs are pretty racist, but protect those within the race (no killing, no stealing, help your fellow Citrian, etc.). And, like many societies, there are Enforcers, Guardians, and the Clerics, who spread their faith and convert non-Citrians to the beliefs that they hold true. And, like most religions, there are those that take it way too far. The original Tenets of the Champions of the Sun speak of not interacting unless conversion would "aid" those of non-Citrian descent. ...because that totally happens.
