Court of Tepesh

Prelude

The Court of Tepesh is an ancient organization that predates the Great God war.  They formed a sub-faction as a way to be more organized for the Great God War.  This organization fought alongside Zaratros and was well known for the battle of Concord.  At this battle the Daylighter army clashed against the First army of Hell lead by Bhall the god of murder.  In this battle the army of the Daylight invaded Hell itself and clashed against them in hopes of killing Bhall.  During this fight the counts of Tepesh and Tepesh himself were able to seal away Bhall until the end of the war.  The outcome of this battle was a total victory on for the Daylighters.  However they were forced out when the second and fifth armies reinforced the lines.  In other major battles they clashed against the Army of Infinite darkness, some of the forces of heaven, and some mortal armies fighting on the side of the Great God Covenant.  It is worth noting that their forces were much smaller than that of the vampires and were very heavily supplimented by that of armies of allied kings.

Description

The Court of Tepesh is a sub-faction of the Shield of Order.  That is lead by the first daylighter Viscount Tepesh and like their leader majority of members retain the alignment of Lawful Good.  This group is also run by a council of very powerful daylighters known as the counts of Tepesh.  These individuals are considered to be the nobility of the house of Tepesh.  Below them are knights of Tepesh.  Another group belonging to the court of Tepesh is the Sorcerers of Daylight a very inclusive organization that does not often take on new members.  The last group is the Navy and Admirals of Tepesh.  Going down even farther you arrive at the basic subjects of the household who have not yet attained a higher ranking.  At the very bottom are the humans and thrall that affiliate with the house of Tepesh.

Navy of Daylight

The Navy of Daylight is a group that stems from another continent and works much like a branch off the main group.  In other words it is a Sub-Sub-Faction.  This group has formed a navy that hopes to one day unite against their once great enemy the fleet of infinite darkness and engage in glorious battle to the death.  The counts that oversee this group as well as the oversea affairs of Tepesh are Counts Hood, Yamato, and Bismark.
