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, Temple Knights that defended Misthalin and Asgarnia from invading Morytanian forces during the Misthalin - Morytania War, in roughly 1200 of the Fourth Age.[1] They fought at Silvarea, upon which the Paterdomus was constructed after their death in battle.[2] 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.[3]

The warriors also blessed the River Salve during the final battle of the Misthalin - Morytania War, creating a barrier to prevent Morytanian invasion in the future.[4] 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 Misthalinian lore and history.
