Series doctrinal, and spiritual foundations

The Kadashah (Holy Book of the Prophets)

The Kadashah (Holy Book of the Prophets),written in the first age by a sect of holy men from the house of Mantis, was inspired by the Spirit of Truth. The order of the Guardians of Light were created upon the foundation of the Kadashah which contains the laws, the tenets, prophesies, books of the faithful and the ways of the Mantis.

The Tridents of Hades

The Book of Knowledge:

The Book of Knowledge created by the melding of the dark spirit of Kravanoblus and the shattered pieces of the universal seal of peace vanished near the end of the first age. The keys to the mysteries of the Tree of Sheol which produced the Orbs of power and incantations to control the full powers of the forces of darkness are contained within the Book. Those that read the Book gain god-like knowledge and the ability to create terrifying machines of war.

The Tree of Sheol:

The Tree of Sheol created from the essence of Kravanoblus and pieces of the seal of peace were directly connected to the seat of power of the kingdom of darkness and vanished at the same point in time as the Book of Knowledge. The Tree will reappear and bear its fruit near the end of the second age as prophesied in the Kadashah and the Nostro Hedrin.

The Orbs of Power:

The Orbs of Power produced by the Tree of Sheol, house the essence of Kravanoblus' spirit and the blood of innocents. The source of great powers, the Orbs were utilized to imbue sentient beings with vast increase in physical capabilities, energy and un-natural prolonged life. The majority of the Orbs were hidden within the fortresses of the fallen races near the end of the first age awaiting the will of Kravanoblus to re-activate.

The Guardian Oath

Upon completion of the Novodene training, those that wish to serve as guardians of light must pledge the following oath:

Guardian Oath:

As a Mantis Force guardian, I will faithfully serve and uphold the laws, the tenets, and the way of the Mantis. In combat, I shall conduct myself to the highest standards as a Guardian of Light. I shall guard my brother's life as my own. My faith and hope are in GOD alone.

Many of the words and names used in the series were constructed with the intent of conveying biblical prophecies places, and spiritual allegories. Combinations of Greek, Latin and Hebrew are used throughout the series; for these are the languages inscribed on the Lord's cross "King of the Jews."

As one delves further into the series, readers should recognize the spiritual and biblical significance of key number combinations, including guardian, enemy ranks, names of cities, heavenly bodies and other prominent groups and figures. The colors chosen are specific to locations, government dominions, and other critical identification markers within the series.
