Velshionne, the Lady Magnificient, the goddess of glory, is the pre-eminent deity worshipped in the area the characters come from. As such, her church is very large and influential, with a complex hierarchy of priests that lacks a singlular leader.
According to church doctrine, Velshionne imbued six mortal heralds with aspects of her power. Each was an exemplar of a particular philosophy, and while their personalities and beliefs sometimes clashed, against their Lady's enemies they always produced a united front.
Saint Rorhen of the Chisel is the herald of artifice. In his time he was a master artisan and the builder of many temples and monuments. His part is the commemoration of glory.
Saint Avalgus the Pillager is the herald of destruction. His part in the order of things lies in the laying low of remnants of past glories, and during his life as a mortal he oversaw the sack of many rival churches.
Saint Seluna, Fortune Finder, is the herald of luck. Guided by the last words of her father, she uncovered a mighty relic from a previous age that allowed her to overcome terrible odds to claim a kingdom that had been on the verge of falling. Sometimes glory is found, not won.
Saint Fefnard the Wise is the herald of nobility. Wheras most of the heralds are famous for their deeds, the glory of Fefnard lay in his excellence. He was an aristocrat much sought after by parents who hoped his qualities would rub off on their children, which they sent to study under him. Fefnard represents the example of glory to others.
Saint Gamerrack Stonebreaker is the herald of strength. In life he was famous for both enormous physical might and the steely will to break through adversity by sheer force. Glory is often won by those with the power to take it.
Saint Ecillieve, Banner of Velshionne, is the herald of war. Rumoured to have been the half-mortal daughter of the goddess, she led many succesful military campaigns and won many accolades. In the order of things, her place is in presiding over the most prominent method by which glory is won.
