The Theology of the Vigil (Rift Lore)  

"... A letter from Cyril to the Chancel:

Your faith in great Thedeor is well placed, he is the sword of righteousness and the defender of truth. I do not ask you to abandon your faith to the most valiant of gods, I ask you to strengthen it. Those who draw strength from the Sword know the truth of this but dare not speak it. Their communion with Thedeor has changed, he is distant, muted. Their prayers are difficult, their meditation distracted. Expand your faith to include the Vigil and you will understand.

Many have worshipped the gods together as a group throughout history. While different cultures and races would take on a god as their patron, there was always the veneration of other gods. A Mathosian Paladin, Chancel trained, battle hardened would live his life by the code of Thedeor and would rather die on the battle field than renounce the mighty sword of the gods. But making an offering to Bahralt upon entering a city, or to Thontic before the start of a long journey was commonplace.

The five gods are themselves, and they are one as the Vigil. As Thedeor himself has joined the Vigil, so too should your order join the Guardians."
