Religious event
The faith of the Silver Flame in embraced everywhere in Thrane
In eulogies and memorials after the king’s death, the church first broke its silence about Thalin’s Vision, claiming the event was both legitimate and misunderstood. Keeper Serrain himself spoke of the vision, describing “the silver flame that will reach from ocean to ocean, to build a kingdom of the righteous.” The Keeper’s confirmation of the previously unsanctified prophecy spread throughout the land like a brushfire, and the results were cataclysmic. Although everyone heard the same words of the Keeper, the vision was interpreted differently by each group. Only one thing was certain: The faith of the Silver Flame was embraced everywhere as the highest ideal of the nation. Even the church was shocked by the fervor and zealotry unleashed by the Keeper’s announcement as if the fire in the hearts of the citizenry had been quenched for too long. Far from muttering and making do as war threatened on every border, the people of Thrane now demanded action, and they found leaders among the most militaristic paladins, mystics, and religious demagogues.
