Reflections of the Light
We are all but pale reflections of the Light.
Reflections of the Light are an order of clerics, chosen for their devotion to the Light. They serve as teachers, doctors, and religious leaders throughout the kingdom. Among the order those who have been accepted as Reflects are given the more prestigious postings, while those who are still candidates are given duties with less responsibility, often tending to the facilities or doing menial labor.
Public Agenda
Reflections exist to be the physical manifestations of the Light in the world. They are the hands, feet, and mouth of the Light.
Tenets of Faith
- Bring Light to the sick.
- Bring Light to those in need.
- Bring Light to those who are seeking.
- Drive out the Darkness.
- Bring the Light.
Worship
Worship of the Light can be done in any place at any time. Crystals in the walls and ceilings of chapels create bright, colorful patterns that most see as communication from the Light. Services held at night or in inclement weather are enhanced by many candles placed around the chapel.
Priesthood
Reflections are volunteers, people who have chosen to dedicate their life to helping others to see the Light in the world. While the position is voluntary, all candidates must be confirmed during a ritual acceptance by the Light. Those who are not accepted are free to serve in the chapels as support staff, but will not be put into positions of leadership.
Granted Divine Powers
Those who have been accepted as Reflections of the Light have a greater awareness of the Light and closer communication. Those with higher status interact with the Light closely and report that they can converse with it like a close friend.
Political Influence & Intrigue
The leader of the Reflections, the Prime Reflect, resides in Kingstown so that they can oversee the training of new candidates. This person is also given direct access to the King so that the King can seek the advice of the Light at any time as needed.
