Valarn

Valarn (known in Teiliwaan as Waliang) is the god of war in the Imperial pantheon and the chief god and the god of strength and perseverence in the human religion. Valarn was one of the god-dictators of Theilon and the adopted son of Ilma and Tuoni. His adoptive parents decided that he would be eternally reincarnated, which in turn made him outlast the other Theilic gods.

The Imperial cult of Waliang works closely with the military. In the northern Askriga, however, the Cult of Returning King is a wholly different force, led by the Storm Regent who is thought to be the current incarnation of the Mighty One. The cult is dedicated to finding the newest Regent. The method with which the Regent is determined is secret. The current Valarn is a Plainswoman named Kalila Sun-Eyes.

The monastic Order of Strongheart in the Empire focuses of physical and mental perfection via intense training.
