Bright Path

The Bright Path is composed of a series of ancient temples winding up into the Aoleth Mountains from the Eastern plains of Kotar. Each temple is said to represent a different facet of learning and insight and all are sacred to Solandria, the Goddess of Light. The culmination of the Bright Path is the Temple of Lothae Sol, built in the highest pass of the Aoleth mountains and commanding a spectacular view both East and West.

Although the Bright Path has been kept by Kotari priests of Solandria since the land was first colonised during the Seventh Age, the temples themselves are in fact considerably older – dating back to sometime in the Sixth Age. It is not known who built the temples or why, but legend tells that Lothae Sol guards the original resting place of the Solinast - deep within the mountains. Whatever the truth of the matter, the Bright Path is perhaps Kotar’s greatest treasure – bringing many pilgrims from far and wide.

The first step on the Bright Path is the temple of Toloth Vae, near the city of Koloth. The temples on the path are maintained by the Church of the Bright Path, the local cult of Solandria.
