Dogma[edit]
Alon, who the humans believe created the first human laws and fought many beings for justice in the name of the humans. Alon teaches three things. First is patience – good things will come later, or after death. Life is full of hardships, and they must be endured to enjoy the greater riches. Second is valor. No true hero can abide by evil and suffering. Third is laws allow all to flourish - with out laws, beings will not know what is right and wrong, thus justice can not be fulfilled.
Alon despises the wicked and the infernal and his wrath is fearsome to them although he will never attack or judge un-justly no matter the being.
