A Listing of Terms...


Each of our Order wears a pendant to identify ourselves and as a symbol of our faith. We fight vehemently against ignorance. Do not expect a fount of knowledge to flow from our lips when approached. Many approach us for the wrong reasons. Come prepared with specific questions. The only ignorant question is the one unasked. We realize there are many misconceptions about the Nox Sorora flitting about the lands. All questions will be answered with truth and sincerity. However, one person can never speak for all. We do not seek to convert. We do not actively recruit. All of our members have come because they have opened their hearts to the Goddess.
