THE PATH OF LIGHT

SYMBOL
The Octagram is the symbol of the Host as a whole. A
Sovereign priest either carries a metal Octagram holy
symbol or holds a staff tipped with the icon. Priests
dedicated to a particular god also display their deity's
symbol, and Vassals carry tokens with the symbols of
the Sovereigns whose favor they seek. There are eight
points in the symbol for eight Sovereigns; the ninth Sov­
ereign (Aureon) is represented by the Octagram itself.

RITES
Formal prayers to the Sovereigns usually involve song.
Specific songs invoke each Sovereign and seek their
favor, appreciate the blessings received, and recognize
the presence of a Sovereign. Celebrants sing the songs
of Boldrei and Aureon at weddings, and soldiers sing
Doi Dorn's marching songs on the move and Doi Arrah's
hymns on the dawn before a battle.

TEMPLES
Sovereign shrines arise where people feel the deities
are close, such as a library for Aureon or a smithy for
Onatar. The rites of Boldrei or Arawai typically occur in
the wild, and a tavern could serve as a shrine to Olladra.
The shrines can take any form, but they prominently dis­
play the symbol of the particular Sovereign.
Temple of the Sovereign Host are made of stone and
have eight doors. The walls depict images of the Sov­
ereigns, with the icon of Aureon over the altar and the
Octagram engraved on the floor.
