Vision and Driving Beliefs - Dogma

Kaon is a god from the outside -- an alien god, if you will -- now seeking entrance to Telon. Some view this as an invasion, but some have become seduced by his power and believe him to be a great teacher. Kaonic forces are attacking Leth Nurae. The Kaonic Invasion became roughly twenty years ago. The Lyceum of Ingolas was the first to fall. There are whispers that this is due to a cult called 'The Cult of the Whisper', and their leader Ghaldrid.

Quotes

Priestess Aludan (high elf), Leth Nurae: "Within these globes lie pieces of Kaon himself! The great god of chaos and disorder has the power to tear this very world apart. How he came to Telon, I do not yet know, but in order to stop him, we must learn. -- The Kaon, exalters of chaos, are right now beating upon our very gates. They have spilled out of the remnants of the Fallen Lyceum and into our home. -- Within these globes are the shadows of elven souls! The beings of Kaon have the power to twist this world into a living nightmare."

Acolyte Asanya (high elf), Leth Nurae: "If any of us were to join Kaon, we would become twisted and evil. -- "-the path to chaos happens both within and without. Sylphic Kaon and Kaon Pixies are beginning to show signs of this transformation. It first happens where the foul magic is wielded, the hands."

Ritualist Radwian (high elf), Leth Nurae: "Scintilla drinking the magic of the trees... if we do not stop them soon, the forest will become a place of chaos - rather than the haven of manicured order as it has groomed to be."

Quote from diplomacy clothing: "There is a seduction in the teachings from the outworlds. Kaon is a god, is a teacher, is cause for pain and madness. Who can question the goals of a god?"

Lieutenant Elwyn (high elf), Arlinora's Retreat:

"It has been nearly twenty years since the Lyceum of Ingolas fell to the dark influence of Kaon magic. Since then we have been combating this evil as best as we can, however the Kaon forces gain more ground and influence with each passing year."

- What caused the downfall of the Lyceum of Ingolas?

"To be honest I am not exactly sure of all the details. I was but a child when the ordeal took place, but I have learned a few things from my elders. The Lyceum used to be a peaceful place where Elven magic students came to reclaim once lost Elven magic through study. However, during the Orc and Goblin invasion, many of the Lyceum's top students were sent to aid the resistance and during their absence a secret cult known as 'The Cult of the Whisper' rose up and overtook the school."

- Who led this uprising, and why did they do it?

"A student by the name of Ghaldrid was the leader of the cult. It is said that Ghaldrid was the student who was most heavily gifted with the powers of chaos. We have reason to believe that he is still somewhere inside of the Lyceum. The Kaon threat has been very taxing on the Elvish people, and now to make matters worse representatives from the Sages Arcane have shown up to get involved."
