212.62.19.185:

The religious capital of [[Kotar]], Koloth lies a little way South-East of [[Toloth Vae]], the first temple of the [[Bright Path]]. The [[Church of the Bright Path]], the Kotari cult of [[Solandria]], has its home here – helping to make the city a rich and powerful place. Indeed Koloth is one of the only places in Kotar’s interior that foreigners are likely to have heard of since pilgrims hoping to travel the Bright Path will always stop to see the magnificent Shining Towers of Koloth before beginning their arduous journey into the [[Aoleth Mountains]].

212.62.19.185:

The first [[Saralot|Saralonian]] colonists to arrive on [[Kotar]] were followers of [[Solandria]], drawn to the mysterious island by visions of the temples on the [[Bright Path]]. After making their pilgramage to the Bright Path and the great temple of [[Lothae Sol]] many pilgrims remained in Kotar to guide future travellers to enlightenment. In time these first settlers founded the Church of The Bright Path; and this cult of Solandria remains one of the cornerstones of Kotari life to this day.

Landholders' Council

2005-12-13T14:20:33Z

212.62.19.185:

Kotari settlements are typically composed of a group of fortified manor houses, each of which protects a scattered collection of farmsteads. This arrangement is brought about by the Land Code of [[Kotar]]; which states that to lay claim to land you must be able to defend it and that if your land is defended by another then you must swear fealty to him. Thus in Kotar the noble Landholders must also be keen warriors – ensuring the safety of a number of nearby farms that pay them a tithe in return. Every farmer owns his own land, but only one who defends his neighbours and recieves their fealty in return can declare himself a Landholder.
