the path that leads to the light. - Act with compassion and courage. Each
noble act is a step on the path. - Hone your body and your mind. You are
the tool you will use to change reality.
The Path of Light is the faith of the kalashtar and
has few followers in Khorvaire. A Lightspeaker
seeks to KPIVOMZMITQ\a—in the big picture by
ushering in an age of light, while on the small

performing good works.
While compassion is important, there are those
among the followers of the Path of Light who
believe in taking surgical action to eliminate
sources of evil. Where followers of the Silver
Flame believe that all mortals can be brought to
the Flame, some who follow the Path of Light
believe that it’s more expedient to eliminate an

THE UNDYING COURT
- Our greatest champions and sages will
never be lost to us. Their wisdom guides us,
and their power protects us all. - Honor our past. Respect our traditions.
Perfect your skills and you may earn your
place among the Deathless. - Destroy those foul creatures that channel
the power of Mabar, for they consume the
essence of our world.
The elves of Aerenal refuse to allow their
greatest souls to be lost to Dolurrh. Using
powerful magic, they raise these champions
as LMI\PTM[[, a form
of undead imbued
with positive energy.
The Undying Court
is a council of the
deathless, ancient
elves who have guided
their descendants
for twenty thousand
years. As individuals, a
deathless councilor is
no more powerful than
a traditional lich. But
working in concert, the Undying Court creates
a pool of energy that empowers their divine
spellcasters.
Of all of these religions, the Undying Court
is the most grounded in reality. You can go to
Shae Mordai and seek an audience with the
Court. As a follower of the Undying Court,
consider why you are so far from home. Were
you sent from Aerenal with a mission? Is it for
the Court as a whole or are you acting as an
IOMV\WNI[XMKQÅKKW]V[MTWZ ̧XMZPIX[aW]ZW_V
ancestor? Followers of the Undying Court despise
negatively charged undead, so without a concrete
mission, one should seek to destroy the undead
and the necromancers who rouse them.
