Lantern Priest Initiate
The most popular religion across the known world, the Lantern Priests of Light and Law follow Rezmir's teachings. By their decree; no one is above the law, no matter their position of power. The church divides into three main orders filling different roles in society, and these three orders see consistent growth as members of all Erenel races join the ranks to uphold this Holy Order. As an initiate you have recently joined the church as a member of Light's Watch. You will shine a light on the darkness of injustice, wherever it may lurk.

Light's Regard
You receive shelter from members of the Lantern Priests and those who are sympathetic to its cause. This includes temples, religious communities of Rezmir, and any settlement or nation that they serve. This aid comes in the form of shelter, meals and healing when appropriate, as well as the occasional assistance of citizens rallying to a cause of Light and Law.Suggested Characteristics
