The Holy Light

== Overview ==
__NOTOC__
=== Priesthood ===
The primary religion of the Empire of Alenthyl. The Light has countless denominations throughout the world, and various churches recognize the Light or the Dark as specific beings, while others view them simply as mysterious entities beyond gender or worldly description. These different sects have all sorts of priesthoods; some have a Pontiff leading the Church, with Bishops under them, while others are more loosely organized. A variety of states officially recognize The Light itself as their religion, but they tend to interpret it in different ways, and therefore the worshipers vary in their practices.
=== Practices ===
Light followers vary greatly in their practices, as different sects believe in completely different ideologies and denominations which they interpret as the Light or Darkness. However, generally, there are a few staples. For example, most Light churches believe Light magic is holy, and that priests should practice it, though some sects have challenged that belief. Many of the followers of the Light throughout Aevonhold see the Dark as an evil force that permeates throughout the realm. 
Many churches, most notably those within Alenthyl follow the teachings of a single word of the Light within a sacred scripture, The Book of the Sacred Light. 
Some followers of the Light believe that other cultures who do not recognize the Light not as complete heretics, but simply as misguided. Naturally, some churches, such as the Alenthylian Church of the Light, think that all who do not believe specifically in their sect are heretics and infidels.
