White Mantle

The White Mantle are a powerful religious order, formed by Saul D'Alessio. They are the ruling body in Kryta.

During the Charr invasion, Kryta was about to fall to the Charr as Ascalon did. This is when Saul and his followers rose to defend Kryta, aided by new gods he called The Unseen Ones. The White Mantle get their name from the white robes and cloaks that members of the order wear. They now reject the worship of the Old Gods.

Every year, the Mantle administer the Test of the Eye and take the Chosen, supposedly to give them special education. Unknown to those outside of the order, the White Mantle sacrifice the Chosen on the ancient Bloodstones. This is known to the Shining Blade, the rebel group trying to oppose the Mantle.

Trivia

 * The symbol of the White Mantle resembles a stylised Mursaat
 * Most Shadow Army units resemble the White Mantle, it is not known whether this resemblance is intentional or simply the result of reusing graphics. Shadow Monks, Mesmers and Elementals look very similar to White Mantle Priests, Sycophants and Savants. Shadow Warriors and Rangers wear armor very similar to White Mantle Knights, however they have spiked helmets and no capes, and their armor has the distinctive 'fins' or 'wings' of the Enchanted. They even have the White Mantle symbol on their armor or clothing.
