White Path

White Path, The Citadel of Faith.
White Path is the holy city of White Walk   religion and home to its followers. White Path was a settlement, constructed by survivors and followers of White Walk   religion, born around 3095 in north-east parts of Craterium.  White Path has been built on top of one of the volcanic areas of Craterium. Pools of acid, lava and other hazards are present around the city. The air is heavy and even in some parts, toxic to breathe. Citizens of White Path have learned through years to tolerate, even thrive, in this hostile area of Craterium.
White Path is most well known for the followers of White Walk religion, that seems to hold death especially in high regard. The keepers of the faith are very secretive about their faith, only teaching those that they deem worthy or fellow followers of White Walk. 
White Path is rather beautiful city, known for its striking white buildings and religious artwork, depicting life in all of its different states from crib to the grave. Colour is rarely used in White Path, but when it is used, it comes off quite beautiful and sometimes adding to the mood of the certain area.

Government

White Path is an religious community turned into a city. White Path is run like a theocracy, where the head of the religion is also ruler of the city.

Industry & Trade

Despite their isolation, merchants are allowed in and out of city and some of its citizens even become merchants and traveling missionaries.  White Path has also some minerals not usually seen around other parts of Craterium.

History

The Holy City of White Path was born out of settlement by immigrants from Fourways trying to find more living place away from the tight-knit city with Merchant King blessing.
The expansion plan was deemed to be failure, but some people managed to survive and even do well in the hostile area. This is where the first religious community of White Path was formed.

Architecture

Impressive, large buildings usually made out of stone and different metals. The art-work usually depicts different images from birth to death and between. Many buildings have words of White Walk scripture written on them in different ways.
Some of the more normal buildings like housing is built with wood or stone. Metals are saved for religious buildings and social hubs.

Geography

Dangerous, inhospitable toxic environment in middle of active volcanic zone. The deadly toxic gasses are always a danger alongside with sweltering heat. The citizens of White Path have somehow learned to cope with their harsh environment, even using it against their attackers.
