The Path of Light

The kalashtar of Adar follow no deity, but they do revere a universal force of positive energy they call il-Yannah, or “the Great Light.” This force is lawful neutral. Most followers of the Path of Light are psions and psychic warriors, seeking to perfect their bodies and minds through meditation and communion with this light to prepare themselves for conflict with the forces of darkness—most particularly, the Dreaming Dark of the Inspired of Riedra. A few clerics find a source of divine magic in il-Yannah, and choose their domains from among Law, Meditation, and Protection. Their favored weapon is the unarmed strike.
The Path of Light is the faith of the kalashtar and has few followers in Khorvaire. A Lightspeaker seeks to change reality—in the big picture by ushering in an age of light, while on the small scale by excising negative influences and performing good works.
While compassion is important, there are those among the followers of the Path of Light who believe in taking surgical action to eliminate sources of evil. Where followers of the Silver Flame believe that all mortals can be brought to the Silver Flame, some who follow the Path of Light believe that it’s more expedient to eliminate an infection and to allow a soul to find the light in its next incarnation.
