Sikkar

BELIEFS:  Sikkar, the Harbinger of Light, is also known as the Child of the
Sun.  Supposedly born from the sun itself, Sikkar believes that he can free
himself by drawing all beings into himself.  Such beings must be purified,
however, and to this end, he promises sweet and eternal rest to all Gifted
Ones whose souls cannot escape the RetroMud Wards.  

WORSHIPPERS: Paladins and Templars alike serve Sikkar, with Paladins 
serving as the force which fights the other Nameless Forces, and the
Templars
as the missionaries who bring the 'Light of Truth' to non-believers.

It is said that Sikkar's first followers were 29 in number, and each had
his or her own charge.  But a mighty siege befell them, and in the end
none survived the vicious counterattack of the Perdowians upon their
return to Welstar.  Sikkar gathered up each of their souls, and infused
it with his own divine essence so that they would fight on.

In this way, all Paladins with the same charge are brothers and sisters.
They share a spiritual bond beyond mortal flesh.  These saints answers
their cries for help and intercedes on their behalf with Sikkar.  The goal
of every Paladin is not war, but to bring others into the Light of Sikkar,
so that when enough shields are used by those pure of heart, the 29
will return for the final climactic battle that will break the Retroverse
prison and free all spirits to go to their final judgment.

PRIMARY PLANET:  Sikkar's stronghold is Welstar, where law and order rule.

AVATAR: Sikkar has attempted to sway immortals to his side in the past,
often
appealing to their sense of fair play.  Several powerful Immortals have
seemed to take sides in the Godswar, only to ultimately server their
own side.  Many Templars believe any Immortal taking sides with
Sikkar or the Nameless One are ultimately plants who will undermine
any efforts to free the Gods at the last moment.  No one knows for
sure, and the Immortals aren't telling
