Knights of Tezoth

I - Beliefs capable of turning the tide of battle

The teachings of Sillia the Benevolent open up a wealth of new possibilities for a person. And the more flexible a wizard's mind, the more of them he will see. Despite the ethical constraints imposed by the principles of this magic, its range of use is broad both on the battlefield and in other aspects of military action. You cannot win a war with mages alone, but they are capable of turning the tide of battle. The main thing is that the naivety inherent in some Sillians does not stand in their way.

The Children of the Dawn Raven possess the widest range of unusual abilities that no one else can boast of. As practice shows, the Raven of Fate does not release just anyone from his collection. Being a powerful but unpredictable element, his spawn are a trump card for those who gain them under their command.

Among the followers of Ceres the Mysterious, a curious dichotomy is observed: while some of them are unparalleled solo agents, others excel in group battles. As long as their abilities are used in a sphere corresponding to the individual's talents, the results will speak for themselves. But it is also important to remember their characteristic love of freedom, which does not always get along with discipline.

The grim determination of Renavan's followers does not always manifest itself, but it is precisely this that allows them to overcome adversity and resist other temptations. In a battle between armies of equal strength, no matter how many of their allies fall, the ranks of Renavanite warriors will not waver, while the enemy's spirit will gradually wither. This alone can bring victory. But the mindset that resists dark sorcery is also difficult to overestimate, in case the enemy puts it to their service.

The followers of Koimaji the Majestic are deservedly known in Tezoth as masters who skillfully handle any type of weapon. Such flexibility makes the warlike followers of the seventh Deus indispensable in military affairs, and few can rival them in this path. The strengths of this philosophy are especially noticeable in people of exceptional talent.

A Tisian philosophy of the new age, designed to combat new problems as well. For the harsh events of modernity and military conflicts, in my opinion, it is far stronger than the other two ideologies popular in those parts. As long as the Tisians of such views decide to support one of Tezoth's regions, driven by sincere and selfless feelings, their zeal and persistence will inevitably have to be reckoned with.

The presence of a faithful other half nearby, capable of sharing the burdens of fate with you, together with the lessons learned from the teachings of Eidos and Satanid, allows Estellians to find and demonstrate the strengths of both philosophies. Their willingness to move mountains for the love of their life should not be underestimated.

II - Universally useful beliefs

According to official statistics, the iron discipline characteristic of Satanid's followers can increase the efficiency of an average person by about 25-30%. Simple and effective. I also note that the symbiosis of such organization with Tasanika's methods sometimes leads to truly impressive results.

For ordinary warriors, adherence to the teachings of Eidos the Iron grants new ways to prove themselves. Diligence and the desire to surpass one's past self will allow a simple man-at-arms with a shield and sword to practice a useful battle technique or learn horseback riding. For residents of regions with rich traditions, such a way of life will help them become more deeply acquainted with them. However, for an experienced and diligent person, who already knows the value of self-improvement, the benefit from this will be less. Moreover, in the context of martial skill, supporters of Eidoism often yield to Koimajists.

In some of their functions, the methods of the Kanamians overlap with the magic of the Sillians, but they lack the same flexibility, while requiring more time to master. However, some of the techniques they use have no analogues and, despite a certain degree of situationality, will prove quite useful against a suitable opponent. In particular, against enemy spellcasters, the Children of the Dawn Raven, or those with unusual abilities. In this case, it would be wise to have people of such views in your ranks.

III - Beliefs of moderate use

Velkhmetra the Brilliant was never a warrior, and therefore she has fewer followers inclined toward the martial craft than other Deuses of bygone eras. Under the right conditions, the desire to shine can indeed help a person unlock talents useful in the military sphere, but most often the followers of brilliance gravitate toward something else. And sometimes the results they achieve will not differ much from those of followers of other beliefs. I cannot help but note that certain regions are more conducive to unlocking talents in individuals of this mindset.

The chances of Sithians participating in interregional conflicts are low, but not minimal. Especially if the northerners decide to use the resulting chaos in the interests of their mistress or in attempts to increase their personal magical power. There is as yet no reason to believe that such interference will amount to more than a few well-placed agents who will act more through curses and skillful manipulations than destructive magic. Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that with every battle a Sith wins, he will most likely become stronger and stronger. If it is an ancient Sith, dealing with him will not be easy.

IV - Useless or very niche beliefs

The mercy of higher powers is not something to rely on either in ordinary life or in war. Even assuming that your patron truly decides to help you in a difficult moment, this is clearly not something around which to build your plans. Not something that can be thoroughly calculated. And, most likely, not something that will affect the overall picture of the war, especially in the context of the fate that befell the holy city of Aconia, rather than the fate of an individual person in particular. Its only tangible manifestation, of those known to me, is expressed in the technique used by the Sanbornians, the power of which is indeed difficult to deny. But that, again, is an isolated case. Lacking additional information, it is difficult for me to place Aconism higher.

When ancient cities fall from the skies and Tezoth is about to be engulfed in the flames of war, some adepts of Regret may contribute to the approach of the apocalypse they so desire by siding with its spawn and sabotaging the defense of the northern borders. In this context, vigilance will be more important than ever. But in themselves, as far as I could observe, supporters of this belief do not possess any unique abilities, except that the children of Iphilla consider them "their own." However, as long as such views are shared by trusted people, this feature could be used by perceptive lords to obtain Iphillum, so valuable in military affairs. So even representatives of such an extraordinary worldview have their own niche.

A person incapable of development is a resource of very limited usefulness. A sphere of application for such immutability can be found, but under certain conditions, similar results can be achieved through proper training. Unless a guest from Tisia with such views is a mighty warrior in his own right.

It is difficult to deny the erudition and benevolence of the followers of Yuzulori, but the strict restrictions imposed on them and the resulting need to sacrifice their own interests do not pass without a trace. Sometimes the price is physical health. In other cases, the weight of obligations burdens their souls. For a person who wishes to develop many talents at once, this philosophy may be suitable, but in the context of a military conflict, these positive qualities are unlikely to manifest themselves.
