Tenets of Faith

— The my reign is absolute to the world below. As far as my light touches, so does my authority. It is up to the children below to spread the light to every part of the dark realms beyond

It's believed that it is the job of the followers to spread his words to all, no matter if they want it or not. This is because they are representatives of the sun and the sun provides light and prosperity to the world. You must be grateful for him and his gift. As a result, to return the favor one must teach, help, and love others, no matter their background.

Holy Books

Sun Rhymes: A list of poem verses that tell the story of Lezantarus and his Ten Principles of Light. They were made near the beginning of the founding of Lezantarus Grace as a way to spread his principles to the youth of the age. Now they are common household tales used for a variety of morals beside his principles. The Eabenna: This codex is the main source of religious knowledge and practice. Created by the first Sun's Child, he wrote down the first and only words spoken by Lezantarus at the time. The original copy is broken here at the The Archives in Aulus (City) for safekeeping. However, copies are made daily to spread across the continent.
