Salah Mananujar

Bright Torch (a.k.a. Bright Salah)

/Suh-lah - Man-oo-ne-jahr/
Salah Manunajar is the savior of civilization.
He arrived to the village of Old Qu'sra as an orphan, wrapped in a blanket that was tied across the mid-section of a giant elk.
He was taken in by a more primitive iteration of The Light and raised as a Torch under the guidance of Bright Ouza Tarik. Upon Bright Ouza's death, he himself was made a Bright Torch.
Two days after his elevation, while meditating by a river he received the vision which would allow him to save the other 48 founders of Qu'sra, and in effect all of civilization.

In the Age of Light, Brights wore robes of blue, meticulously embroidered with stylized stars with halos. They're reminiscent in appearance to those in Vincent van Gogh's famous painting Starry Night, of our world.
The ceremonial attire of Brights, after re-establishment, was a delicate golden crown that resembled the antlers of a great elk. Hanging closely from the antler tines, were small golden stars. The robes are green, and meticulously embroidered with vines, leaves, and flowers. There's also always stars present somewhere on the garments. In private and meditation they wear simple green robes with gold borders. The borders are repeating labyrinths, inside each, stars.
