Beliefs
Followers of the Light believe that The All Father, Sol'Nityr was the first being. He sat in the heavens and created light, from that light he took form, then he created his first children, but his children were greedy for power, they created the void and tricked Sol'Nityr into entering. They thought he was trapped forever, they left the universe in darkness they called themselves the dark gods, rulers of the void. Eons passed and finally a sword of light pierced the void and brought light back to the heavens, Sol'Nityr cast down his children banishing them to the very void they had trapped him in. From then on he would make lesser creatures.
Followers of the Light believe that when life is created The All Father takes a part of his own light, this light is called a spark, he then places that spark into every living creature. They believe that when a creature or being dies, their spark returns to The All Father and they will bathe in his glory forever. This is why they will often try to destroy the undead, it is not because they fear or hate the undead, they pity the undead and see it as a merciful righteous acts as they are returning their spark to Sol'Nityr so they may be at peace finally in his glory.
Followers of the Light believe that Sol'Nityr is the only true God and that all other "Gods" are just powerful beings but not actual Gods they refer to these other Gods and Goddesses as pretenders
