Old Faith

The Old Faith refers to an ancient belief set found throughout Lamasery, mostly in isolated settlements. It represents the last vestiges of the power of Arvana Sanys.

Doctrinal Overview
As a mostly dead faith whose deity died millenia previous, the Old Faith something of an atavism. The priesthood, as it is, are primarily composed of hedge magicians and other magic users wishing to dress themselves in trappings of piety. The few remaining functional divine relics associated with the faith are those gifted to Arvana by her patron deity Eleduna Darkbringer.

As might be expected from a would-be goddess of Magic, the lack of true divine magic has not had as much of an impact as may be true in other religions. Magic is the goal, no matter its source, and knowledge to wield it is considered sacrament. This, more than anything else, has allowed active worship of a dead goddess to prosper throughout Lamasery.
