Lore

Tenets

Adavin

• Exploration is the allowance of giving oneself to a world of unknown possibilities.
• Akarat and I shared a love for the enchantment when discovering the unknown.
• If I dig my soles in Sanctuary's dirt and take in deep breaths, I can feel the Light within me. We are connected.

Istabela

• When you spend most of your life sleeping with one eye open, you will find resting comes in other ways.
• What is humanity if we are not willing to give a saving hand to a drowning man? Would we not be just as the creatures that plague Sanctuary?
• The crimes we have justified, whether theft to feed a child or a bloody blade over words, find a path back to you. One must accept the consequence.

Jualin

• Forgiveness can be given and received in many ways, but always must come with sincerity.
• When one's mind opens to the possibility of the future, that is when dreaming truly begins.

Tusega

• A wolf and her pup deserve the opportunity to love and live as any mother and her babe do, with no fear of chase weighing on their minds.
• My spirit felt at home as soon as we entered the jungle of Nahantu. It was as if I had found something I never knew I was looking for.
• We build towers to compete, yet the truth is they may both crumble if we cannot find peace.

Ysevete

• The angels in the High Heavens and the demons in the Burning Hells share the inability to find the Light. That is humanity's power.
• He is like a feather—strong and durable, yet soft and beautiful. If we allow ourselves to be feathers, we can soar.
• Every moment spent with my dearest friend Akarat was a moment filled with gentleness and laughter.
• A storm will be turbulent. A storm will be tranquil. A storm is like finding the Light—a complexity to understand as it is.

In-game

The Tenets are scattered throughout Nahantu and are similar in function to the Altars of Lilith. 30 tenets are located throughout Nahantu, and each tenet grants the player 10 Nahantu renown. Each tenet has a correspondent puzzle that must be solved to unlock it.

Development

The Tenets replace the Altars of Lilith in that players were frustrated with the latter giving stat bonuses. As such, the Tenets only grant renown.
