There
are four Aspects that make up the Ancestor known as Ancalime,
an Ancestor that sought to fight the taint of Dark Trade
and is worshipped by several different groups within the
Faction. Once, there were four Guardians and three Avatars
of Ancalime, each representing one of the four Aspects,
though for some reason, the White Avatar never appeared.
While the Guardians represented the Aspects, the Avatars
held their powers in mortal form. Guiding all of these
beings was the Avatar of the Prophets. The Knights of
Ancalime that became the Guardians have long since disbanded,
with some dying, and others leaving the Faction, though
there are still Knights of Ancalime on Erdreja.
The
Avatars themselves have returned to Ancalime.
Ancalime the White:
The
Aspect of Law. Also known as Dianysis, Ancalime the White
has been known to appear as a large, glowing White Unicorn
with a long, golden horn with golden hooves. She represents
not only law, but also the idea of purity and as a result
of this, abhors unliving, seeing them as going against
the natural balance of the world. Ancalime the White's
symbol is that of the Ankh.
Ancalime the Green:
The
Aspect of Good. Also known as Salendoria. Like the other
aspects, Ancalime the Green has been known to appear in
the form of a Unicorn; chestnut brown, with a glowing
pearl horn. It is also said that flowers and life are
born from where her hooves tread. Ancalime the Green represents
Goodness and Nature, and seeks to bring the unliving down
in much the same way as Dianysis. However, the reason
for this is vastly different, as she wishes to right the
natural order and restore the patterns to relieve the
trapped and tormented patterns. Ancalime the Green's symbol
is that of the Harp.
Ancalime the Grey:
The
Aspect of Chaos. Also known as Tassendal, Ancalime the
Grey's Unicorn form is that of a small, grey Unicorn with
a silver horn. Unlike the Green and White Aspects, Ancalime
the Grey has no concerns about unliving, as he represents
the Aspect of Chaos. Ancalime the Grey's Symbol is that
of a magpie
Ancalime the Black:
The
Aspect of Evil. Also known as Zell. His Unicorn form is
that of a sinister, black Unicorn with ivory hooves that
spark as they strike the ground. The eyes of this Unicorn
glow with an evil red shine. Ancalime the Black will accept
unliving, but only in servitude. Being the direct opposite
of Ancalime the White, his symbol is a broken Ankh.
