However, the material used for such garments and equipment varies widely. For example, the church of Jalivier is the state religion of the Kingdom of Navirosov and, as such, it is typical for the country’s clergy to wear a wide range of armor types and to include Jalivier’s symbol with the heraldry of the country’s many orders.

As well, most lands where evil is powerful often have large, hidden shrines dedicated to the Sun’s Champion. The Church of Jalivier is the strongest in the following lands: Navirosov, Monarchy of Avion, Principality of Ambra, the Free City of Yuln and the Honored Islands of the Light. They also strongly influence every mountain range on the continent. From the Greystones, in the north, to the Hinderfall Mountains, in the Far South, dozens of strong, stone temples and citadels protect the highest places on Harqual.</p><p></p><p>Many of Jalivier’s temples share space and resources with other deities, especially the Light-Bringer, Apollo, and the North Goddess of Nobility, Mayela. By far, the most famous temple dedicated to Jalivier is The Light of Truth, located near the western edge of the Kingdom of Stonn. This ‘temple’ is more like a large town made of the followers of the Defender of the Light. It is famous for its order of monks, The Fists of the Defender. A high, stone wall surrounds the Light of Truth and a great citadel stands at its heart. The temple fortress has never been breached, even during the time of the Ogre Wars.</p><p></p><p>Another great fortress, this one in the Monarchy of Avion, acts as the center of worship Church of Jalivier for that country and the entire region. Nidbor Keep is a large, elevated fortress, which is defended primarily by followers of Jalivier. Many of these soldiers are mid to high level clerics and paladins. However, most of the keep’s protectors are low to mid level warriors with a few devoted fighters as sergeants.
