| | **The Trois Visages de la Guerre** is a {{tagpage>"Variant Sects of the Légion Souveraine"|variant sect}} and vassal cult of the [[Légion Souveraine]] prominent among members of the military in the armies of [[Khorvaire]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Histoire ====== |
| | The Trois Visages de la Guerre was first established in [[Karrnath]], and [[Karrn le Conquérant]] can be counted among the founders of this warrior cult. |
| | |
| | Today, the Trois Visages de la Guerre is considered a fraternal organization that has become widespread among soldiers and officers of the armies of [[Khorvaire]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Doctrine ====== |
| | Followers of the Trois Visages de la Guerre reveres the three Dol Gods as the Sovereigns of War, who are invoked anytime blades are drawn or blood is shed in battle. They revere the Dol most among the {{tagpage>"Sovereigns"|Sovereigns}}; respecting [[Dol Arrah]] as the wise face of war, [[Dol Dorn]] as the brave face of war, and secretly [[Dol Azur]] as the cunning face of war. |
| | |
| | The Trois Visages de la Guerre is a faith for soldiers. The followers of the Three consider all Trois Visages de la Guerre to be acceptable aspects of warfare. |
| | |
| | Many members of this warrior cult are officers in the armies of [[Khorvaire]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Notable Followers ====== |
| | * **Drago Thul:** [[Drago Thul]], the former Karrnathi warlord residing in the Grindstone Ward of [[cap-tempete]], and sElfee-styled heir to [[Karrn le Conquérant]] is a respected follower of this sect.[[1]] |
| | |
| | ====== Notes ====== |
| | Several officers in the armies of Khorvaire who follow the faith may be acting on behalf of [[L'épée de l'Ombre]] and his master, [[La Rage de la Guerre]]. |

| | Keith Baker has suggested on his [[https://www.keith-baker.com|website]] that myths of the Sovereigns of War could be Inspiré by a trio of martial [[Dragons]] from the [[Âge des Démons]].<ref name=":12">{{Cite web|url = http://keith-baker.com/eberron-flashback-the-lords-of-dust/|title = Eberron Flashback: The Seigneurs Des Cendres|author = Keith Baker|date = 01/03/2017|year = |month = |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20170811003419/http://keith-baker.com/eberron-flashback-the-lords-of-dust/|archivedate = 08/11/2017|accessdate = 2/10/2019|quote = You’ve already made clear the differences between the [[Légion Souveraine]] and the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]], but would you consider [[the Sombres Six]] as a whole to be enemies of the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]] as well? |
| | |
| | I’m going to rewrite my original answer to this question, because I think it was unclear. First of all, a defending element of {{tag>["Sovereigns|the Sovereigns and Six"}} is that their existence cannot be conclusively proven. They are said to be omnipresent and to influence their spheres wherever events occur. [[trois_visages_de_la_guerre|The Dols]] are present anytime blades are drawn. And yet they cannot physically manifest. In this, they are concretely different from [[maitres_demoniaques]], who influence a limited area (even if potentially a very large one) and can physically manifest. An [[maitres_demoniaques| Overlord]] can be bound, and an [[maitres_demoniaques| Overlord]] cannot. So in some ways it’s a meaningless question, because [[Les Sombres Six]] don’t manifest, so HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? With that said, I’d argue that EVERYONE is against the [[maitres_demoniaques]]. If I’m a [[Méduse]] priestess of [[L'Ombre]], I’m not going to look at [[npc:bel_shalor]] and say “I dunno, I kind of like the cut of his jib.” Among other things, most cultures that revere [[Les Sombres Six]] look at their positive elements. You could say that [[Tul Oreshka]] and [[La Furie]] have some overlap, but [[Tul Oreshka]] is PURE MADNESS, while the Furie can reflect the positive aspects of passion and emotion. |
| | |
| | WITH THAT SAID: Canon sources suggest that many of the myths associated with {{tag>["Sovereigns|the Sovereigns and Six"}} are drawn from the actions of [[Dragons]] in the [[Premier Âge]], who may have somehow ascended to become the Sovereigns; this is the foundation of [[Thir]] and the [[Église de l'ascension du Wyrm]]. By these principles, [[Dol Dorn]], [[Dol Arrah]] and [[Dol Azur]] were all martial [[Dragons]], and [[Dol Azur]] was flayed after betraying the others – suggesting that he, at least, was working with the enemy. The [[Dragon]] who became [[Le Geolier]] may have had an alliance with [[Katashka]]. The MYTH of [[L'Ombre]] may have been Inspiré by [[npc:bel_shalor]] – even though [[L'Ombre]] that is worshipped in [[Droaam]] ISN’T [[npc:bel_shalor]].}} |
