The Order of Cosmic Truth, devoted to Relioma, the Kind and Pragmatic Goddess of Cosmic Knowledge, is a noble covenant of followers tasked with illuminating the unseen forces that shape reality. Known as the Seekers of the Violet Veil, they proudly wear violet as a mark of their devotion, donned with plated armor. Their violet hoods and masks obscure their faces, not to hide in shadow, but to humbly remind others that they serve as conduits for truths greater than themselves.

Each Seeker carries a personalized sword, a unique weapon imbued with divine purpose and shaped to reflect their path toward enlightenment, symbolizing both their sacred duty and unbreakable bond with Relioma. With this sacred blade in hand, the Seekers move through the world as beacons of enlightenment, challenging illusions and uprooting deception. Their goal is not only to reveal truths but to inspire others to seek understanding. They are no shadowy agents or hidden keepers; they walk openly, lighting the path for those ready to confront the mysteries of the cosmos. Through every act, they honor the cosmic wisdom their goddess bestowed, sharing her teachings so that the world may be reshaped by truth.
