11.3.6 ARION, THE TRUTHSEEKER
Once the God of Valour, Arion was weakened during a fight with the
Kerrithrim and was defeated to such a state that even His essence was
nearly consumed. Weakened to such a degree, it was only after the
essence of the Lord of Truth had finally escaped from the Plane of
Shadow and fused with Arion that He recovered His strength. With the
accumulated strength of both deities, Lord Arion was able to return to
the material world.
With the revelations that Lanos had received in His isolation in the
realm of Shadows, Arion's core tenets have now shifted their focus from
Valour to the search for Truth, for much of the world has been distorted
by the vices of Corruption and the subtle manipulations of Artifice.
An arrow will only fly straight, though if it is marred with
imperfections in its build, will not strike true. It is thus that if one
is distracted by unnecessary ideals and emotions, one will only fail to
achieve his ultimate goal.
Twin swords, one the golden Blade of Valour and the other the
fiery Sword of Truth, poised upright towards the air in parallel - this
is the Truthseeker's symbol.
