NEPENTHE STARCROWN STARCROWNED CROWN 'CROWN OF STARS'
The chosen of ***Lord*** Nepenthe, sometimes called the Order of the Starcrowned,
are united by several shared beliefs. They have come to realize that a
state of order of some kind is desirable, even necessary. Furthermore, it
is an unavoidable consequence of any working structure that some
individuals hold positions of relative power and authority. The members
of this group generally seek to work within the system in some fashion to
achieve such a position of authority, though their reasons for this vary:
some seek to rule tyrannically, others benevolently, and still others do
neither or both, but all realize that it is necessary that someone hold
dominion. They are extremely dedicated people, despising weakness of
resolve and especially betrayal in others, even if such proves beneficial
to them. While not always open or truthful, Starcrowned are known to
never actually lie outright. Most members possess a strong moral code of
some kind (though it need not parallel traditional morality and may in
fact be quite twisted) and are true to it always. While not necessarily
lawful, members of this group are almost never chaotic in nature.
beings, though this may be no more than myth. They are said to gather
to worship in a place of order and calm amidst chaos.
