Church of the Bright Path

The first 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.

The Church wields considerable influence throughout Kotar; although the centre of its power lies in the religious capital of Koloth, near the temple of Toloth Vae – first step of The Bright Path. Worship of Solandria is fundamental to much of Kotari life and the Church is greatly respected by all Kotari. In addition the Church is accorded much respect abroad, thanks to its strong links to worhsip of Solandria on the mainland.

The Church of The Bright Path has no real enemies on Kotar; the worship of Sulansis is unheard of there and the Church peacefully coexists with the religions of Hellani, Faraya, Taramis and Yaasha. The nearest the Church has to a rival on Kotar is in fact the Landholders’ Council in Vendoko, since both groups have a strong claim to leadership of the island.
