=== Principles & Philosophy ===
* Aligned with The Light.
* Wishes to continue the partnership between Isparians and the few remaining Yalain.
* Wishes to harness the power of the [[Ley Lines]] to:
** Defend against [[The Nameless]] and the forces of Shadow.
** Defend Dereth, making it a secure and peaceful place.
** Free the Yalain from portal space.
* Not in direct support of [[Asheron]], but shares many values.
* Not allied with [[Elysa Strathelar]] or [[New Aluvia]], but not opposed to them either.

=== Criticisms ===
* Seen as too "good" by some or lacking depth.
* Conspiracy theories involving a much more pro-Yalain agenda than laid out in the [[Principles of the Celestial Hand]], including the return of the Yalain and subsequent enslavement or eradication of the Isparian population.
