The Order of the Moon

The Order of the Moon serve as the minor antagonist in the Knightguild universe. They worship Negdis, goddess of the Moon. Their leader is the shadowy figure known as "Belirith, the high priestess". They are seen only at night, either hunting or pilgriming to The Land Of Lunaris. Men are the only people who are required to do this pilgrimage but women may do it too. They only bring essential items such as food and water.

Pilgrimage to Lunaris

Each night, 14 men take the pilgrimage to Lunaris for enlightenment. They are to only bring food, water, clothes, and no weapons of death. The journey from their turf near the large city in Majoris to Lunaris takes 20 days on foot, and is filled with many dangers such as the Anarchists, Rogue guards and more. They have no way to protect themselves so usually only1 or 2 return to their homes alive. Women are allowed to go on this pilgrimage but it is not mandatory.

Reason for pilgrimage

In their teachings by Belirith, man that take the journey and survive are considered to be strong and more attractive to mates and have a strong belief in Negdis.

Before going to Lunaris

The men will slit their pointer finger and let the blood drip into a river to ask Negdis for safe passage to Lunaris. Then, they are given 10 pounds of meat and 5 gallons of fresh water for their entire journey. They are given animal hide clothes, animal fat to make a fire or torch, and is given a map with bonfires that will mark their progress.

At Lunaris

They will sacrifice a lamb and let its blood drip into the ocean and will give another small blood sacrifice to ask Negdis for safe passage back to home
