"In the name of the holy Concord of the five virtues, I shall not draw my dying breath until the taint of the world has been extinguished forever. And should Tyr himself call my name and bid me eternal rest, I will refuse. For I have still much to do in service of the Concord and this world."

Skill(s):
Holy magic
{ | | | | | | | | | | }
Dale carries a tome of Tyr with him which he uses to cast all his holy abilities. This tome contains a certain sequence of words that have to be uttered for the abilities to be used. If the words are somehow pronounced wrong, come in the wrong order, or the uttering is cut off, it can have unexpected consequences. Dale has three prominent abilities within the holy magic spectrum.
Pillar of the Loyal
Binding light summons upon the powers of Tyr from above to hold an undead or tainted being in place. When the words have been uttered, a large pillar of light will shoot down from the skies and beam onto the being, which will then be stunned or immobilized, depending on how tainted it is. If it is an undead, all its limbs will be frozen in place, but the rest of the body will still function properly. Beings who are not tainted will not be affected by this at all. This pillar is summoned by uttering the words; "Oh Tyr above, hear this, my plea. This plea is for naught but the good of the world. I swear by my own life that this plea will bring nothing but the five virtues of the Concord to this world. Tyr my Lord, I call upon thy holy light to freeze this being in the name of my loyalty."
Hand of Purity
Holy energy surges from Dale's left hand and into whatever he touches for 5 seconds. This has multiple uses, as it allows him to clean a taint from an object or creature, expelling any unholy energy from it. It could also be used to force the dark lifeforce out of undead and unholy beings, as long as his left hand can grasp it for long enough. The holy energy however only tries to force any unholy energies out of the object or body, and as such does not heal wounds. The words uttered for this spells are; "The energy which I plead from Tyr to course from my very own hand will be used in the name of all that is holy, and never in the name of evil. I plea to Tyr only so that he may help me exorcise this evil from the lands, and I will never upon my life betray the very essence of purity."
Weapon of Blessed Judgement
Dale summons holy energy to fill the weapon currently in his right hand. This energy will discharge itself upon touching anything, causing a blast of light which originates from the contact point. This blast is completely harmless to anything that's not unholy. An unholy or tainted being however will be affected according to the level of impurity. A very wicked thing might have parts of it blown off violently, while slightly tainted humans may just stagger back as if pushed by a light shockwave. To fill his weapon with this energy, Dale will have to utter; "As of this moment onward, Tyr shall pass sacred judgement upon whoever touches this weapon. The innocent have naught to fear. The wicked will be struck down in a blast of Tyr's holy justice, never to rise again as judgement has been passed upon their unholy being."
Defensive Silver Fire
{ | | | | | | | | | | }
The basic defensive silver fire ability given to all Knights of the Concord. Dale himself has chosen the defensive path, which allows him to purify items, protect himself from unholy auras and energies, and also offers limited physical protection abilities.
Heavy weapons
{ | | | | | | | | | | }
Well-versed in the usage and physical properties of most heavy weapons. Be it heavy two-handed swords or giant warhammers, he's used it, and used it well in the name of Tyr and the Concord.
Biography: Although little happened during Dale's upbringing, his father was a member of the Prophet's corrupt order, he was brought up into worshipping Tyr greatly, and Dale joined the order himself shortly after having turned the ripe age. He trained extensively within the cleansing of tainted and unholy beings, developing many unholy magic skills to combat the wicked. He also trained extensively within the use of heavier weapons. While most other members would go for a good old fashioned longsword and sturdy shield, Dale would rather pick the biggest sword ever made, or the biggest hammer he could find. When the order turned out to have been a corrupt pawn in the Prophet's game, Dale immediately left and never looked back. To this day he still does not know where his father is, or if he is still alive. Shortly after the Concordic knights were formed, Dale joined. He continued his training within holy magic, and completed his trial in a peaceful village on the sword coast within the time period of a month. Now he has been dispatched by Sir Kelvas himself to the town of Surna to help them rebuild and combat Ossus' growing threat. Tyr knows they need the help.
Alignment:Lawful Good Favoured Enemy: Enemies of the Concord. Favoured Weapon: The Holy spirit of Tyr. Deity: TYR The God of JUSTICE.
Tome of Tyr - The Tome of Tyr was acquired by him during a holy pilgrimage to a forgotten monastery of Tyr, which has since long been abandoned. The monastery itself used to house an order of elves who worshipped Tyr in all his forms, and studied a great deal of holy magic in his name. It is said that these elves later perfected the casting of holy magic so well, that they were able to call upon the magic just by using words. As such they began writing a book about Tyr, which contained stories about him and the other Gods, as well as a very long list of holy magic spells that can be cast using only words. Unfortunately this special order spoke an elven language that died out long ago. When Dale came upon the book, he could make out the symbol of Tyr on the cover, and as thus decided it was his holy quest to translate this book. To accomplish this, he brought every other book he could find inside the monastery with him and is now trying to find translated versions of these books in an attempt to learn the language and translate the Tome itself.
