A Guide to the Priests and Temples of the Bright Gods

The Divine Children of Edar are worshipped in the Bright Lands to appease Their irritation and curry Their favor. No temple is devoted to the Primal Darkness, though, for fear of waking Edar’s wrath. The view there is definitely one of the less said, the fewer chances to misspeak. Those who enter the Orders and the Temples forsake all former relations and take on their Patron’s name. Each Temple serves as a House of Learning in their Patron’s Domains.

The Temple of Souls

Dedicated to Illyana, the Temple of Souls includes the Order of the Far Reaching Eye, the Order of Dreamers, and the Order of the Awakened. The Order of the Far Reaching Eye is primarily focused on scrying, while the Order of Dreamers seeks to further the arts of divination. No one really knows what the Order of the Awakened is up to.

The Temple of the Signing Winds

This temple is dedicated to the twins, Temos and Thira. The Order of Storms (comprised mainly of weather crafters) and the Order of Harmonics (instrumental musicians) are primarily devoted to Temos. The Order of Wind Riders, which draws most of those with Blessings Large and Breathing, and the Order of the Golden Voice, where vocal musicians and orators find the greatest welcome, bend knee to Thira.
