Tenets of Faith

To Win, but not destroy; To Conquer, but not humiliate: That is true conquest, and the purest form of battle.

Give mercy to the defeated, Spare those who surrender, and be always true and good in your actions where possible.

Challenge things because they are unreachable. Have the courage and strength of spirit to fight when all seems hopeless or lost, to take the next step even when it remains hidden to you, and to remain true to your ideals and beliefs even if doing so would mean your own destruction.

Speak of Purity and Courage, and demonstrate both. Lead by example and let your actions and goodness be both proof of your own convictions, and the impetus that causes others to strive to follow and emulate your goodness and courage.

Be the joy and the beauty you wish to see in the world. Live in the moment and treasure the laughs you can share with your comrades and allies while they last so that when you stand on the precipice of the abyss, these memories of joy shall fill you with the strength to take another step.

History

The last of the Giant Gods to fall in The Jotunhunts, Baldr, the greatest and most noble of all his kin, was also the most powerful. Though his followers were in ruins and his Divine family all but shattered, Baldr fought with a fury and nobility that even great Moradin could not match. Even after the deaths of Thor and Odin, Baldr fought on for two months, so invincible that even Moradin could not scratch his body. Instead, while Moradin held him off in Battle, the other Dwarven Gods took to the Material Plane and slew all his followers, to the very last...and once his faith had vanished, Moradin held Baldr the Beautiful down until he vanished from the world, no longer capable of existing without his faith. Thus, The Jotunhunts ended with the death of Baldr, most brave and noble of all the Giant Gods.

History

During the events of the Godwar, during the time of the greatest need for the side of the Gods opposing Freyja, The Grand Trampler, Nour'Ana saw that without assistance, the Godwar would continue on unending until Freyja, The Grand Trampler inevitably claimed another god as a casualty of her wrath. Seeing a path out of this violence, she martyed her life and sacrificed herself to bring about the full divine resurrection of Baldr, The Unbroken, returning him from his grave after his defeat at the hands of Moradin, The Allfather eons earlier to fight against his mother Freyja, The Grand Trampler and, with his awesome invincible might, turn the tide of the Godwar in the favor of the side of good.

History

Born to Freyja, The Grand Trampler, Baldr was his mother's pride and joy when he was born...and she was also the source of his fabled invincibility, as she had gone to every thing and object in the planescape and made them promise to not injure him...steel, wood, iron, everything was made to promise as such. They were as close as any mother and son could be, until the time of his death...yet now, after his resurrection, the two have fallen out of favor with each other after he has witnessed all the atrocities his mother has committed in the eons since his death.

Eventually, all creatures find a way of life they truly enjoy. And when they do, it is inevitable they will be forced into their own battle whether they like it or not.
