That's traditional Hrestolism. Siglat showed it was possible for *everyone* to reach Joy and not just the Men of All. At least that is the way it worked during the Ban. But Siglat warned, "Joy is fleeting," and many claim it is harder now. Everything that was so easy during the Ban isn't anymore.

It was the (temporary) destruction of the world of the Demiurge that followed the great act of self-sacrifice by Snodal that killed the God of the Golden Feet and destroyed the White Bear Empire.

The Elders are those who achieved maturity during the Ban. The core group knew Siglat or even Snodal. The Children of Tribulation are the new generations born since Siglat returned to the immortal realm. Many find Joy hard to reach or even understand. Some can achieve Joy, but there are those who fail to follow Siglat's teachings.
There is a King. He's the successor of Siglat and was Snodal's squire. He is one of the core Elders, and was part of the cabal that killed the God of the Golden Fleet. Gaiseron is even older.
