A polytheistic religion, Lightbringer religion is an extremely personal one. Gods can and do visit, bless, and test worshippers. More practical to the daily needs of Keep members, it is more popular than the Ecclesia.

Leadership
Each temple is run by one or more priests or priestesses, who normally oversee the daily rituals and the important ceremonies. On occasion, they may defer these duties to one or more acolytes, who are generally involved with running the day-to-day operation of the temple.
Acolytes
To join the Lothanasi, applicants must first complete a long period of training as initiates. If the High Priest or High Priestess does not veto their application, they may fully become priests or priestesses for at least a full year until the next Day of Admission, every September 13th.
Acolytes wear simple brown robes. They are instructed to abstain from alcohol and eschew material possessions. Acolytes are generally young, most no older than twenty-five, and very few of them older than forty. Former acolytes who do not become priests may instead find positions as teachers, healers, recorders, and archivists.
High Priests
A Lothanas, or High Priest, oversees several temples, generally from major cities that were historical seats of Lothanasi influence. Nine Lothanas sit on the High Council, the highest Lothanasi authority in the world.
