Seven Priestly Warriors

Burial place of Seven Priestly Warriors.

The Seven Priestly Warriors is a term widely applied to Ivandis Seergaze, Iriandul Caistlyn, Sarl Dunegun, Derygull Templeton, Erysail the Pious, Friar Twiblick, and Essiandar Gar, soldiers that defended Misthalin and Asgarnia from invading Morytanian forces during the Misthalin - Morytania War, in roughly 1200 of the Fourth Age. They fought at Silvarea, upon which the Paterdomus was constructed after their death in battle. Of them, only Ivandis Seergaze of Lumbridge survived the direct conflict with Lord Drakan's forces, although he himself died during a later venture into the region.

The warriors also blessed the River Salve in year 1200 of the Fourth Age, creating a barrier to prevent Morytanian invasion in the future. This blessing has held, although there have been several instances of crossing through various methods. The warriors remain some of humanity's most universally celebrated historical figures, although they are most frequently referenced in Misthalanian lore and history. Their exploits have been compared to those of the Barrows Brothers, who died near the Sanguinesti Region in the late Third Age. Their prominence is such that Gielinor's calendar system uses adaptations of the warriors' names as days of the week. Corresponding with Sunday to Saturday, they are, in order: Ivanday, Caistleday, Duneday, Gullday, Erysail, Twiblick, and Essianday. It is revealed that the Seven Priestly Warriors were in fact Temple Knights while talking to Historian Minas in the Varrock Museum about them after the In Aid of The Myreque quest.

Trivia

• Although Lumbridge wasn't constructed until the year 1937 of the Fourth Age, Ivandis Seergaze originated there sometime before year 1200 of the Fourth Age. Likewise, Sarl Dunegun comes from Edgeville, which was renovated and named in 169 of the Fifth Age. According to Mod Jack, the author of The Sleeping Seven, written about two hundred years ago, used modern terms. This does not explain Edgeville though, unless the Ghost Town had already been nicknamed Edgeville back then.
