The Full Story
About
The first Sah’Gem and the person who the Sect was inspired by was Levidian king Veh’Lore of clan De’Zen and the white wolves on the mountain, lord of Ent and 7th Levidier. Though doing relatively ok previous to this on his 6th year of becoming a Levidian, Veh’Lore finally hit his rock bottom (based on being given free reign to make all his own choices and living with the consequences of such) at that point Veh’Lore came home with a steel will ready to make a change, he knew who he wanted to be or at least who he didn't wish to be.
Like Levidian teachings stated “before someone could evolve they often had to go through a great cataclysmic change” and once he did he was set on a path of truly awakening his power and becoming the man he always had the potential to become.
​
On that journey he exhibited mastery of self building on his previous achievements exhibited such greatness both in the family and in himself to such a capacity/ degree that a new sect the sect of Sah’Gem the “beyond men” was created to honour and reflect that but also to house these “new men” if ever one is able to ever exhibit the same capacity and capability as him in the same degrees. He became one of the greatest soldiers of Levidier, strong, smart loyal and dedicated and the Sah’Gem is a reflection of those values.
Mission
It’s important to understand that in this period Veh’Lore didn’t just exhibit some great behaviour/thoughts and actions and suddenly become Sah’Gem. He built on long formed and established foundations of himself laid fourth since the day he became a Levidian member. Such as his strength of character, loyalty, love, dedication, and sacrifice. What’s being described here is what essentially helped him to grow up to a point he could gain what was to remaining to truly grow to a place where he could be truly classed as Sah’Gem (The trusted).
​
​
For the first time he took physical control of himself and was destined to recognise and decided who he had become and was still growing to be. Veh’Lore expanded his horizons and capabilities both intrinsic to himself and extrinsic to the Ent and others. To become Sah’Gem Veh’Lore had to do the hardest things, conquer himself, be honest to himself and then let the old him go so that he can claim the new. “When your demons say they are simply a reflection of you you have to know yourself to beat them.” He took the lessons he was taught as a member of the Ent and discovered many similarities in studies of stoicism using both things to bolster each other to deepen his understanding of self, allowing him to get a much more rounded and clearer picture of what he wanted to be.
Vision
From Vehlore's time of arrival in the Ent, Prime of the Ent Sol’En took Veh’Lore in and taught him with special care attention and interest. Helping him to forge his own fire and become steel. So as to survive the path of Ent that he had so willingly chosen. However somewhere along the path Veh’Lore was told by Sol’En that in order to get to the next stage of his training there are things he must discover for himself, one of them being “his foundation”, the stable foundation on which he needs to place his fulcrum that stabilises how he uses levels to shape his reality. To access power in his own right he must prove himself worthy of it. Giving it is a subsection of somebody else is like being someone’s plus one at a wedding, you’re there but you don’t really belong. But when he discovers ”it” (his foundations) he will know, and at that point come find Sol’En then. As it was spoken so it was true Veh’Lore did indeed discover it. During the time of Veh’Lores transformation the two became true brothers in these moments spending an extraordinary amount of time together, training, debating, learning, growing and in honour of Sol’en and the Ent and Veh’Lore himself recognising that Veh’Lore had finally become the levidian he always could be and so in that truly became Sol’Ens true brother not just a weight or responsibility, but a man who can lift and carry his own weight but also take on more to help others (among others reasons) the sect of Sah’Gem was declared and formed.
Many people have aspects of Sah’Gem just like many people have aspects of greatness. But it doesn’t necessarily make them a true Sah’Gem. By no means is Sah’Gem a perfect man or a perfect human, a Sah’Gem has flaws, makes mistakes has imperfections, but it’s what those weaknesses, flaws and imperfection make you, how you control them and how you allow them to impact and mould you that decides who meets the quality of Sah’Gem
Mission
Sah’Gems are known as beyond men, men who goes beyond what was expected, imagined, asked for, needed, understood (by outsiders). They surpass expectations, their value, valour and nobility goes beyond reasoning and so they are trusted and empowered. It is said that Men of the Sah’Gem are symbols of what the Ent should be. Powerful without being intimidating, giving without expecting, forgiving, smart, strong, dedicated and loyal.
They can come from any position, any status, any race, any walk or path of life, as long as they are not simply average, though it may be where they start it’s not where they end. Sah’Gem are men beyond “men”.
The Sah’Gem was inspired by and formed out of respect for (at the time) one man, and because he was proof of concept that it was possible for people like him to even exist, a group was created to house and honour him and those who may come after him who has proven Sah’Gem. They proved themselves with acts that goes beyond what could be expected predicted or asked for in any capacity. Being clear a Sah’Gem is as close to a Levidian's version of a perfect male candidate as one can go, it means they have evolved to a place of true acceptance without concern or boundary as they have proven themselves in all necessary areas. Even at times when they shouldn’t have or wasn’t asked to.
Mission
The first Sah’Gem had addictions, the first challenge that he had to display was the test of fortitude, the ability to control one self so as to not be controlled by what’s around them. A man has to have the power to choose when to be a slave and what to be a slave to otherwise that man has no power. A Sah’Gem is a display of power, therefore one must be powerful. A Sah’Gem has to know themselves enough to face their truth, face their lies, face their demons, face their darkness, and win. The first Sah’Gem conquered his addiction as proof of fortitude for 1 thousand and 95 days & nights to earn himself the honour of fortitude the first blade of Sah’Gem.
​
The second badge earned was the badge of silence. Information is power and one must know how to control the flow of information in order to control the flow of power. Borders and boundaries are an important way of directing waters and rivers. A Sah’Gem must Live in the future though they exist in the present. Predict and plan for everything even the impossible, leave nothing to chance. A Sah’Gems loyalty is tested when his heart belongs to another does his lips slip, does his stance change, does he prove that because the doors of his heart are open so too is the doors to our vault our secrets. Is compromising him, compromising the Ent. The first Sah’Gem proved this 3x over before he won the badge of Silence.
Mission
The third badge of the Sah’Gem is the badge “character” symbolising, quality, honour, valour and virtue. Do you do what you do only when someone watches you or do you do it every time. Regardless of who sees you or don’t. Do you do things because it’s the right thing to do, the best thing to do the important thing to do, or do you take the easy way because why not “it’s what everyone else would do”. If you do what everyone else would do then you belong to the faction of everyone else you are not Sah’Gem, do you hold yourself to a standard with a level of accountability. This is an important badge because it’s the one always on display but the key one that determines whether you are classed as Sah’Gem or not, many people may be strong, many people may endure, but not many people have great character. it’s about the mind and the heart, the instincts, the darkness balanced with the light. The core values the ying and the yang. And only someone who is real can be classed as Sah’Gem
The badge of “Ore” which describes, strength even when you’re broken or breaking does everyone have to know, does everyone have to witness it? When you’re done can you put yourself back together?, how badly do you need an externals factors help to do that, (it’s not a bad thing to accept help from others or for people to know you are breaking or broken, but to what degree or capacity is it a need) are you the type to regularly just sit on the floor feeling hopeless and defeated only moving when someone tells you to or tells you it will be ok, or are you the type to get up and says it’s time to get going to make a way even if I’m not sure how yet it will be ok. Is someone constantly picking you up or pushing you, are you a burden lumbering on someone else? An arm to lift weight off their shoulders, are you an asset or a liability, when necessary can you still hold yourself together at least long enough to complete the current task or mission. Do you have a stiff upper lip and at the very least a crooked smile. Be clear this badge isn’t saying that nothing is allowed to be wrong and that wrong should never effect you or that you should never need help. The Sah’Gem is a brotherhood after all, this badge is evaluating and describing your mindset and mental/physical, and spiritual capacity which impacts how much you need them and in what capacities.
Mission
The badge of “surrender” which deals in humility growth and learning. When you are down people seek to raise you up, but when you are up people seek to tear you down. The badge of humility speaks on a Sah’Gems ability to understand their place, position and purpose in the grand scheme of things and be at peace with that, it’s understanding their is value in each role and position and none is more important than the other, what’s more important is the success of whatever mission act or endeavour there is ahead of you.
There are times a Sah’Gem must lead, times a Sah’Gem must follow, times a Sah’Gem must be defended times they must be defenders. A Sah’Gem understands their value and self worth and therefore doesn’t need to exert force or convince anyone of their value or place they simply must be them. A Sah’Gem understands they are both a master with much more to learn and a student with much to teach. So they gain from others while they give onto others freely knowing that even if they don’t gain here they will gain somewhere else.
​
Mission
The badge of “endurance” talks of one’s capacity to deal with pain without letting it obliterate who you are physically, emotionally, psychologically, spiritually, practically, metaphorically. It means how effective you are at never letting the world and the circumstances around you permanently remove or dull your shine. Ones ability to still see things worth fighting for, protecting, defending, striving for even in a world and a life where sometimes it feels like wants to convince you that all things are dark and hopeless. It’s the simple laughs, the fight for and fight with my brothers, the “things aren’t so bad or deep” the hope of reality discovered in a dream. This part of the Sah’Gem talks about the internal and integral hope and strife for a better world and that deep desire to be the change you want to see it in so you may fulfil your one human responsibility of trying to leave something in an equal or better way than you found it.
​
The final badge is the badge of “insight” Who are you, who do you want to be, what are your core values, why, where are you?, where are you going, where do you want to be, why?, how do you get there. Fulcrum, levers, perceptions, codes of life, laws of the universe, acceptance, fear mastery, truth and lies and more all of which one must know to be Sah’Gem.
To my side, my favoured kings, my Sah’Gem, my royal rings, of all the songs that I may sing, I would crown our love most treasured things.
Oh sunny skies so wide and blue as far outstretched I’d come for you. You are my lords, my brothers, my friends and I will ride with you till the very end. Through trials we endure never break though bend. My brothers back I will Defend. I am Sah’Gem
