History of the Silver Brotherhood

Preface Part I: The Actions of the Silver Brotherhood Part II: The Sources Part III: The Silver Brotherhood Revived, The Daunting Task

Preface I have searched all about Sanctuary for this information, high and low. Most of the reports are shaky, but I will do my best to refrain from subjective writing and to remain objective to tell of the true actions of the righteous Silver Brotherhood of Ilmater. They deserve no less than for the world to know their good works.

The first part of this book is merely the gathered knowledge, summarized by the accounts of the second part. Thus, the first part is merely a revision of the second, with all proper clarifications and tie-ins considered. The last section is to be written in by the conglomerate efforts of the renewed Brotherhood, when the time for its return has come.

If any wish to add to the barren parts of this ledger, please send a request and details about these amendments to the Temple of Tyr.

Part I: The Confirmed Actions of the Silver Brotherhood Empty pages.

Part II: The Sources Drawn from "The Holy Axiology of the Crying God" by Silver Brotherhood member Sovrias Doven.

The Silver Brotherhood upheld the tenets of Lord Ilmater's dogma, as defined from this holy text written by the aforementioned Brother. We can infer that the Brotherhood had a rigid heirarchy, including "Faithful Brother" and "Grand Ostarius". The latter was most likely a rank, and given the importance of the text, Grand Ostarius likely refers to a very highly ranked member of the Brotherhood. The prior, I believe, makes statement as to the equality amongst brothers, serving as an important reminder of equality as men and fellow brothers in the service of Lord Ilmater. Thus, the Brotherhood likely realized the duality of being both leaders and equally worthy sentient beings.

The following pages hold the initial call to action, followed by the dogma and guidelines to answer the call. It is a very good book, although many issues are left ambiguous and could use some elaboration with cited examples. Regardless, it succeeds at its intented task- to provide a simple guide to carrying out the will of Lord Ilmater.

From Gran Ubel, Sewertown

The Silver Brotherhood of Ilmater was once a very active group throughout Sanctuary. They're focus was to help anyone and everyone. Coming from a woman who is quite used to receiving little to no help from Sancturians, this seems to be a very profound statement, showing the true magnitude of the Silver Brotherhood's willingness to serve and protect all of Sanctuary's interests without regards to social standing, authority, or any other factor other than their need of assistance.

The Silver Brotherhood disappeared a few decades back. Gran wasn't sure why, and the only answer she had was the theory of a strange man named, ironically, Strangebone. I'll add his testimony as soon as it comes in.
