Perched within the sunlit vale of Ulaid, Dectore leads the Ephesian Knights — a fledgling order devoted to faith, courage, and fellowship. His keep stands upon a ridge overlooking the misted forests of Sif, its walls carved with symbols of light and virtue. Each dawn, the chapel bell tolls across the valley, calling craftsmen, wanderers, and warriors to prayer and purpose.

Background
Once a common squire among mercenaries, Dectore grew disillusioned with the endless bloodshed that consumed the realms. Guided by a vision beneath the shattered moon, he swore to forge a different brotherhood — one bound not by conquest, but by conviction. Gathering kindred souls, he founded the Ephesian Knights, pledging that their blades would defend the innocent, their hands would build, and their hearts would remain steadfast in truth.

Appearance & Bearing
Dectore bears the quiet strength of a man who has endured both battle and doubt. His hair is streaked with ash and sun, his armor simple yet cared for — polished more from duty than pride. Across his shoulders hangs a cloak embroidered with a white cross, faded from years of wear. His voice carries calm authority, yet those who meet his gaze feel a spark of conviction, as though he sees not who you are, but who you might become.

Personality
Measured and resolute, Dectore believes true power lies not in the sword, but in the spirit that wields it. He treats all who come to his hall with dignity — mercenary, craftsman, or pilgrim alike. To his companions, he is both leader and servant, believing that leadership is best proven through labor and faith.

Rumors & Legends
Whispers speak of a vision — a celestial knight who appeared to Dectore in a dream, bidding him to “build a light that shall not fade.” Others claim his prayers have turned aside arrows, or that his voice alone once calmed a raging storm.
Whether legend or truth, one thing endures: when Dectore kneels to pray, the torches in the Ephesian hall burn brighter.
