Faith of the Light

Faith of the Light is a very old and very respected Dwarven Religion. It seems to hardly note Chaos or Order and truly focuses on no deity. It only follows Earthen Spirits, believing anything existing in Darkness to be foul. Torches, Lanterns, Sunlight, and Hearths are considered highly sacred by this religion.

Mining is also an important part of the Religion. While the surface world goes through a cycle of light and dark, the bowels of the earth are ever dark as death, save for its core. Because of this many following the faith believe that lighting caves with torches, lanterns, and other manner of light is a way of purging the depths, it is also one of the goals of many to dig into the core of Dormunyr, believing it represents finding the light within the darkness.

Exorterra
The Dwarrows of Exorterra have changed much from the Dwarves of the Sacked Lands, but a few areas in the realm of Dwarrow Crossing still preserve the Faith of the Light, namely:
 * Gathuram: Gathuram Tower in the center of the city was originally built as a monoment to Light, believing it would protect the citizens during the night. A group of mystics maintain the flame but many have forgotten its purpose, however House Glain is still a stern worshipper of the Faith of the Light.
 * Northwatch and Westwatch: Of the three Dragonwatch Castles only Eastwatch has changed its faith over the years, Northwatch and Westwatch however still have small stone temples to the faith hosting deep tunnels into Dormunyr within them.
 * Nidas: Nidas is often regarded as one of the strangest and most mystical of the city states, nearly every building inside of the city is dotted with various wards and protective runes, though many religions and philosophies find their way into Nidas the city still officially recognizes Faith of the Light as its religion, every night when the sun begins to set loud horns are blown to warn the citizens that the servants of darkness are about, and when this happens the massive waterfalls of magma flowing through the heating system of the city will begin to fill lava wells on every cross-street of the city as a way to light it.
