The Church of Light

Organized religion has left generations of trauma among many in Ovenica. Whether that be from the decade long war between Prathia and Cuswar, or in refugees fleeing the persecution of the Angels of Iron, many have turned to the Church of Light, or the Illuminated as they call themselves.

The Illuminated adhere to the concept of self perfection. They do not worship any gods but instead provide people fleeing religion a place to maintain a similar lifestyle without the oppression of true leadership.

Divine Origins

During the decade long war between Prathia and Cuswar a small group of people in Kurleigh Castle decided that they were fed up with the gods and the church and decided to turn their minds towards themselves. The movement quickly caught on. Many people enjoyed the thought of no longer being beholden to deities or church leaders.

For some the organization was nothing more than a reminder to focus on themselves instead of feeling the need to worship a higher power. For others, however, it became a religion of its own. Those who do consider themselves practising Illuminated spend their time exercising, and eating healthily. Some very devout Illuminated live very ascetically in small monasteries that have been built throughout Ovenica. There are some rumours that members of the now collapsed Order of the Silver Mind began the movement, but they have remained largely unsubstantiated.

Live long and die free.
