Divine Virtues

The order of the Cosmos and the three virtues are integral parts in the fabric that weaves every universe together. Set forth by Queen Aurara herself, this is her divine law. They are: strength, wisdom, and courage.

Strength

Of the three divine virtues, strength is the most primal and chaotic. Most elements are chaotic and are chiefly governed by this virtue. The virtue of strength however consists of further defining attributes: physical strength, evocative power, and fortitude, and endurance. A strong body is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. It may also be necessary for survival, and can be asserted to help others in need in dangerous times.

The goddess Medok of Udari is represented by the phoenix. She is the embodiment of Strength. Her inner fire burns deep within, and her flames reach outward like a phoenix in flight, when angered. She is confident in her power, and few other wards, angels, or even gods can hold a candle to her flame.

Symbology references the virtue of strength on the left side of an upward facing equilateral triangle, or the westerly direction. Other references include not only the phoenix, but also the color red, and the element of fire. The symbol of Medok, and therefore the virtue of strength, is represented by two entwined orbs. The symbol indicates a metaphorical relationship between the different attributes of strength.

Wisdom

The virtue of wisdom is one that is calm and flows in a single direction to the end. Whether it be a river directed from a lake out to the ocean, or a thought guided by the evidence and knowledge to a conclusion, each follows a logical path. The elements of ice, light, time, and death are guided by this virtue. Wisdom is further defined by its attributes: intelligence, perception, insight, and logic. A strong mind is necessary to understand the world around you, adapt to challenges, and find ways to overcome them. It is also important that one is insightful, capable of making predictions to plan ahead, rather than always acting in the moment.

The goddess Helo of Udari is represented by the white owl. She is the embodiment of wisdom. Her insightful nature, intelligence and perception is beyond measure. Bound by a logical mind she plans for every contingency and is a trove of academia. Her understanding of the world around her makes her most wise. Even Queen Aurara in all her eons of life is not nearly as quick in mind as she is.

Symbology references the virtue of wisdom on the top of an upward facing equilateral triangle, or the northward direction. Other references include not only the white owl, but also the color blue, and the element of water. The symbol of Helo, and therefore the virtue of wisdom, is represented by three orbs bound together in a setting. The symbol indicates a metaphorical relationship between the attributes of wisdom.

Courage

Of the divine virtues, courage is both enigmatic and stoic. Only the elements of water and the earth possess this virtue. Courage is further defined by the attributes that cover the sanctity of one’s inner self: diligence, humility, charity, chastity, gratitude, temperance, and patience. However, binding all of these is love. Love for self, love family, and love for others. One who is pure and strong of heart, tempers one’s strength and mind. Having love gives one the ability to act, even when fear would otherwise bind a weak heart.

The goddess Fathi of Udari is represented by the eagle. She is the embodiment of Courage. Her compassion and heart make her a strong friend, and a ferocious enemy. Her heart is pure, much like an innocent child, but she will always be the first to stand against any oppressor to protect the righteous, even in the face of ridicule or danger.

Symbology references the virtue of courage on the right side of an upward facing equilateral triangle, or the easterly direction. Other references include not only the eagle, but also the color green, and the element of the earth. The symbol of Fathi, and therefore the virtue of courage, is represented by a single orb bound by three sweeping arcs. The symbol indicates a metaphorical relationship between various attributes of courage.
