Zhor Faction: The Patrons of the Living Flame
The Patrons of the Living Flame are mysterious figures who claim to be the interpreters of the slumbering Zhor Mountain’s will. They declare themselves as messengers of the volcano, bestowing its "secrets" and divine desires upon the most faithful and, most notably, the Inheritors. Their mission is to guide the Inheritors and serve as intermediaries between the people and the inscrutable desires of the Zhor Mountain.
Although the Patrons of the Living Flame do not form a conventional religion, they actively seek to expand their reach and impact across the nation of Zhor and beyond. They are engaged in a quest to reshape politics, the Way of the Blazing Hand religion, as well as the broader spheres of Zhor and Volkran'dur culture. Consequently, a deep schism exists within Zhor's society, where one faction perceives the Patrons as deceptive political schemers while another regards them as genuine interpreters of the divine.
Religious & Political Influence
Although the Patrons do not constitute a traditional religion in the conventional sense, they actively aspire to establish themselves as such by sending their members on missions that extend even beyond the borders of Zhor. Their influence permeates the religious and political landscapes, attempting to mold and modify the Way of the Blazing Hand, the cultural practices of Zhor, and the Volkran'dur way of life.Debate & Division
The teachings and endeavors of the Patrons of the Living Flame have sparked heated debates and created a great schism within Zhor's society. While some regard them as interpreters of the fiery will of Zhor, others perceive them as insidious political operatives who manipulate faith for their own gain. This division in opinion underscores the complexity and ambiguity surrounding the Patrons and their mission.
