Hillenistic Interpretations of Abrea's Teachings
Mages possess powers that can devastate the world and so all mages have to confirm their loyalty and their ability to control their magic. Vitaemancers are considered too dangerous and they must be killed for the safety of the rest of the population.Abrea is the Goddess of Mankind and worshipping others is heretical.
Only the alstirsus can interpret the messages of the Lady of the Lake.
The Amber Lady preached about being kind to others and so to spread kindness all forms of love between consenting adults who aren't related is allowed.
