**Lasyre** (Religion of Kaed) was founded by one of the original Deities apostles, Lasyre. Lasyre utilises the Flame, a magic about Empowering oneself.

## Religion

Lasyre is more of a spiritual based religion. It doesn't
believe in gods or deities. The faith of Lasyre is in everything. There is an
endless energy within the world, and knowledge of the Flame allows people to
harness it. Everyone can have a connection with Lasyre,  and anyone with practice can use it. The
people of Lasyre are always welcoming and polite, they see everything as equal,
and while there is structure to their religion, it's based on skill, not social
structure. Those who are considered to be of the higher echelon are still
generous and polite to those lower than them. There only exists a social
structure out of necessity, there for anyone
caught abusing their privileges are stripped of their rank and punished.
Sometimes it is a brief suspension to make an example, sometimes it is full
exile. Any true believer in Lasyre would accept their punishment, and complete
it without complaint. Cases of exile are extremely rare, and in some cases the
exiled have been known to prove themselves through trial.
It is known, that in order to become one of the Burning, you must exile
yourself. (This exile can be requested, however, they may refuse your exile if
you haven't made your proper farewells and tied all of your loose ends. Your
position within society must be replaced.) In order to be permitted back into
society from any form of exile you must show you are worthy to be of the
Burning. In order to do this, you must show that you can focus power to at
least one other part of your body, draw upon Lasyre to a high degree within
seconds, hold Lasyre for prolonged periods of time, and have committed a
selfless act. There is a trial to complete in order to become one of the
Burning. The selfless act is judged by a Jury on how selfless it is, if it is
deemed to not be selfless enough, the exiled will be banished for another year.
The trials are held annually, over a period of a week, with one trial on each
day. The public are allowed to watch the trials, with the families of the exiled
being given places of honour.

The believers of Lasyre live in a small but fertile land.
They do not have a standing army, but all Men and Women between the ages of
16-40 train for one day a week in the art of battle, and Lasyre. Not everyone
is expected to fight, those that have a hard time fighting are taught other way
on how to help, through healing, empowering, sentry duty. All with the help of
the Flame.

## Wellspring Form

Lasyre is all about
Empowering. It takes a lot of skill to use it as a direct magic. For instance,
in combat, it is better used on oneself, to make them stronger and more agile.
Empowering oneself has a similar effect to Adrenaline. Users become more
focused, and have increased strength and reflexes. It can be focused directly
to the mind to increase stamina and stay awake longer, and in well trained
users, it can increase intellect.

Using Lasyre, is much like meditating. You need complete
control of yourself, and your mind. You need to clear your mind and draw the
surrounding energy in. Wielders can feel the power start to burn within
themselves, and as they advance they can draw power in further and quicker,
being able to draw on it within milliseconds. They more time they have, the
more powerful they will be.

Skilled users can make shields and project magic upon others
to empower those that can't, or add to the power of others. They're also much
stronger with the magic that they do have, as they have increased reserves of
it, and are much better at controlling. Skilled users can also heal others and
themselves, but only minor injuries and basic pain control.

Advanced users, also known as "Scal" or "The
Burning", can draw energy for most basic and intermediate magics within
seconds. However, a Highly advanced technique that all of The Burning can do is
focus power into certain parts on the body, allowing them to fortify certain
objects and parts of their body e.g. Strengthening their hands so they can grab
magics from the air and send it somewhere else, like back at opponents during
battle. The Elite of the Scal, considered masters of Lasyre, can project
focused magic in bolts. Being able to use ranged magic like this leaves them on
the highest rung of the elite.
