History

Sanctuaries of Light

For much of the worship of the Spark, Temples of Sanctity have been one of the few places where the faith could openly convince others to protect their faith due to the dangers of the world around them, mainly due to Gloomspawn which could quickly attack anyplace with ease. Originally, shrines could be found in every town and village where they would pray in the light of day for the blessings of the spark. Still, those days were no longer safe as Gloomspawn became more rampant, making it impossible to go outside if a cloud covered the sun or on a rainy day, as well as Gloom cultists desecrating the shrines. When the Congregation of the Eternal Spark was founded, the temples were built to promote a strengthened faith that would withstand these dangers behind solid walls built around these original shrines. It was not too long after that temples could be found in every settlement and region, with many of them still standing to this day as a show of skill and dedication was made to building them to last.
