“We live in an age of darkness.
We must find the path that leads to the light.
Act with compassion and courage.
Each noble act is a step on the path.
Hone your body and your mind.
For you are the tool you will use to change reality.”
-Bakr-Koratash Nicholai
Strange Dreams...
In recent times, people across the world have been visited by a peculiar man in their dreams.
When this man visits, it often to soothe their worries and fears. A surge of inspiration to forge ahead and combat their own despair and create their own future.
The man shares a striking resemblance to Jason Nicholai and have been dubbed the Watcher of Shadows and King of Dreams. What he preaches, is the Path of Light.
The Resurgence of an Old Faith
The Path of Light is an ancient religion, lost to time. Not much, if any, is known about it or its virtues. Only scholars of ancient history or the Aereni elves could know of its existence.
All which makes the sudden resurgence strange...
The modern followers are all commoners who have had the dream of the Watcher of Shadows. They promote meditation and that only taking action can defeat the Dreaming Dark.
The darkness is the despair that everyone feels in their heart, the feeling of being swallowed whole by the strife’s in life: the loss of a daughter, the failing of a business, the betrayal of friends.
Everyone feels the darkness, it’s acting on darkness that brings people to commit evil.
A Light in the Dark
Bakr-Koratash Nicholai has attributed to this newly unearthed religion to the people of Paradenia. Offering meditative rites and important virtues.
To many outsiders who attend, the services appear to be done completely in tranquil silence, yet followers are always ecstatic and enthusiastically thankful once finished. There are no temples or churches, but his teaches as it’s only priest in Paradenia are known to the frontiers.
The symbol of the religion is a shard of brilliant crystal unlike any other. It is often worn as an amulet.
