Zira

== Prime Na'ar ==
Zira styles herself as the 'first' or 'highest' of the Na'ar, but it is impossible to know if this is true, as she's only one of an unknown, but colossal number of Na'ar. She is followed by the Soli culture of Ardaithe, who generally share her very manipulative behavior and holier-than-thou attitude.
== Prophecy ==
Zira believes that in a time long past, a pantheon of deities older than the Na'ar fell to one of their own- this traitor god was the source of all the darkness and chaos that would infect the cosmos, and spread war and death to mortals. After learning of the various faiths of Rathnir and Eldham, Zira has been known to have compared this god to Darkness in the Sakrelist tradition, or the Blood God of the Red Cult.
The armies of darkness and chaos marched across countless worlds- demons, monsters, whatever the locals decided to name them. Sometimes, even their own corrupted kin.
But from the ashes of these ravaged worlds, Zira and her Soli acolytes helped raise those survivors who would stand against the dark, against chaos, against war. The Lightforged, alternatively known as the Army of the Light, or the Golden Army.
Zira has seen visions of a Chosen One, one who will come to her from a different path, a different religion. A convert, who will lead the Lightforged to greater heights, to control and stabilize the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham, to liberate them.
Should Zira's worshippers fail to find this Chosen One, the one she calls the child of Light and Dark, the forces of chaos will mount a crusade, and all worlds will fall to ash.
== Sermon ==
Brothers and sisters,
Decades have passed since the last vestiges of chaos were driven from our homeworlds. We could not have accomplished this noble undertaking without the help of outsiders, those who were rallied to our cause by our shared faith in Light, peace, harmony, and Order.
Our fondest wish is for all the people of all the worlds to remain unified in purpose. Sadly, this dream is not shared by all of those who now stand beside us, on Rathnir and Eldham.
Many noble souls have embraced the Light. They have been examples for their people to follow. Yet sadly, their own friends and family resist the true path.
I believe with all my heart that the people of these two worlds are destined to join us as servants of the Light. But first, they must be taught to trust the Na'ar, to trust Zira, as we do.
The Light Mother has blessed us with visions. I know that one day the Army of the Light will march across the space beyond and bring Order to all worlds.
That bold future begins here, with us. We must make these people whole again.
I call upon you all to ensure that the future promised by the Light Mother is fulfilled. Purge the infection that prevents the heart of these worlds from being whole.
The Light will forge a new future for the peoples of Eldham, and of Rathnir... but first, we must save them from themselves.
No more division. No more defiance. In the Light, we triumph.
