Lights of Quaylition
The primary religion of the Grayden Empire. Each “light” represents an aspect of Quaylithon and how he manifests on this plane. Though it is most common to follow a single light, some elect to pursue and embody multiple virtues. Each denomination is denoted by the symbol of a candle made of a specific material. These tokens are enormously significant to the faithful.
Sects
- The Primes believe there are 10 Lights of Quaylithon, and that death is the end of one’s existence on this earth.
- The Sojourners believe there are 11 Lights of Quaylithon, and in the concept of being “born anew” and experiencing many lives (reincarnated, although that word does not exist in Terra as of AUC 2,776)
- His Eyes hold there are 12 Lights of Quaylithon, and that the other two sects are in defiance of “His Radiance”.
