Our Purpose
We are the Devoted of Eylhaar, bound together by our reverence to the Lady Eylhaar.
It is the duty of the Jackals that the teaching, blessings, and word of Eylhaar be spread through the realms. That all who dwell there know her promise and in the twilight of their life it is she that comes for them.
That they comfort and console those mourning the loss of a loved one. The Jackals are called upon by the Maiden to release those cursed with undeath from the lands and see that they find peace in the afterlife.
Lastly, they are scholars, tasked with uncovering the lore, prayers, stories, hymns, and dogma of Eylhaar, so that they as well as the rest of her children may better serve her, in this life and the next.
History
The Jackals of Eylhaar were founded on the 2nd day of the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden (Day 362) in the year of the Bronze Wyvern (442), by Arkalye Starston, a Paladin of Eylhaar; Shakal Ellig,
Priest of Eylhaar; Cote Rudel, Empath of Eylhaar. Gathered together to study the Book of the Void, one of the only stories they could find about the Goddess Eylhaar. Through much research and consulting
with historical texts and historians, they found a correlation between the time of the story, The Gift of the Maiden, and historical events. This led them to conclude the year and month Eylhaar manifested in the Plane of Abiding
Such an event they have deemed the Eve of Mercy, that they celebrate on the 3rd day of Uthmor.
Then on the 10th day of the 10th month of Nissa the Maiden in the year of the Bronze Wyvern 442, the Jackals of Eylhaar gathered first at Kweld Gelvdael in the heart of the Jackal, to ritually cleanse and pray for Eylhaar's guidance. Once finished with their prayers the Jackals set out to the newly built Gyfford's Bridge, tainted with necromancy in its construction. The Jackals could not abide such a dangerous taint on the land to be allowed to fester so they set about cleansing it. for several Anlas they anointed the bridge with holy water from the font within Kweld Gelvdael. They burned blessed incense and holy candles and the Priest Schakal prayed for Elyhaar to purify and bless the bridge and land around it. Tired and satisfied they had done all they could Eylhaar's devoted Jackals slipped off into the night, no fanfare nor accolades waiting for them, they merely did what Eylhaar wished of them.
