Six Virtues
Closely tied to "The Champion". The six virtues are spirits of such magnitude that they cannot manifest in the forest without endangering their very natures.
The six virtues are
- Truth
- Justice
- Balance
- Equality
- Love
- Harmony
If, for example, Balance were to manifest in the forest. Every step it took and word it spoke would change the nature of balance. Ergo, upset the balance. This same thinking can be applied to the other 5 virtues.
Herald of Virtue
Tied to the six virtues of the Forest are their heralds. Since the Six great virtues cannot manifest themselves, the Heralds act in their stead. Each Herald is marked by one of the Virtues through their adjudicator, The Champion. This mark is a spiritual tattoo that cannot be mundanely removed. The responsibility of a Herald is to advocate and encourage that virtue with in the forest. Also, the Forest and its denizens, the spirits, may request certain tasks that need to be performed by a Herald of a particular Virtue.
Current Heralds
Altair, Desert of Brass, Herald of Love
Pollux, Dark Mountains, Herald of Justice
Birtchbark, Enchanted Glade, Herald of Equality
Harmony also has a Herald, but I (Luelenvati) do not know his identity.
