Saint Turee

Saint Turee (Time of Sorrow 3-80)    

ToS 3
    Saint Turee lived in the Time of Sorrow. Born to a poor family in ToS 3 he was sent to the High Church of Jendar to study and interpret the ways of the Father God. For years he toiled as a scribe in different monasteries throughout the region surrounding the area that would one day become the city of his namesake.

ToS 67
     Saint Turee is the Patron Saint of Holy Orders. All Priests and Clergymen must train in the great city of Saint Turee before being sanctioned by the Divine Order of Saint Turee. ToS 67 after years of serving as a head of his monastery he felt he had become to complacent and was not fulfilling his commitment to the High Church of Jendar and his life was contradictory to the teachings of the Father God. He gathered what little resources he had and a few companions. They enlisted in one of the local militia and for the next five years served as Battle Clerics.

ToS 72
    Father Turee as he was known in these years, watched his companions fall in battle after battle. The healing powers he had been gifted with by Jendar were not enough to spare his comrades. Never discouraged, Father Turee founded an Order of Clerics known as the Order of the Heart. The Order’s founding members were little more than apothecaries and local medicine men with no real skill in the healing arts. He spent the remainder of his life attempting to train Clerics and sending them out into the world to do good. Unfortunately the notoriety of the Order of the Heart never flourished during Father Turee’s life.

ToS 80
    Father Turee dies in his sleep at his monastery home and headquarters of the Order of the Heart. He is put to rest atop a funeral pyre and his ashes were spread to the wind.

ToS 100
    Twenty years after his death, the Order of the Heart participated in the Battle of Kerlo. Their healing abilities turned the tide of battle resulting in the King presenting them with a proper temple to replace their old monastery. Their founder was made a Saint for his part in training the Clerics of the Order of the Heart.

ToS 103
    One hundred years after his birth the area around the Temple of the Order of the Heart became a upstart village. Starting as a trading post and growing bigger year after year until it had reached the size of a small city. The city was named for the founder of the Order.
