The church of the light

The church of the light
The church of light believe themselves to be the true religion of Dolernum and sees all other faiths and primitive/ cultish/ or heretical. The church of the light believes in crusading conquest and protects those who support them while laying waste to all who oppose, or just disagree for that matter. Because of this nature the church has spread far across Dolernum and being widely feared.

The light
The light itself, Ironically, is a Far god, this entity has chosen and manipulated its clerics into complete devotion. The light wishes to spread and harbors a unique hatred for the shadow and its children. The light appears as a colossal sun like being with incredible power of heat and light.

Followers
Followers of the light are often blinded by faith and act as servants. Followers are gained from various recruitment methods such as: torture, child abduction, and sometimes visions from the light. Followers act within law in cities who welcome them. They slowly gain political and social power until they are able to gain control of a settlement, as soon as this happens all nonbelievers are driven out and goblins captured and executed. Followers of the Light rapidly transform settlements they control into strongholds and churches to praise the light. This subtlety is not used for cities that actively oppose the light, in those situations the church will attack and pillage, raining deadly fire from above to slay the nonbelievers.

Followers of the light see goblins as traitors and the scum of the earth and if given the slightest provocation, will kill them on sight. A goblin who minds their tongue in a city that accepts the church of light can sometimes get away with only a beating.

Celebrations and festivals
Dawn of the year: On each summer solstice the church celebrates their progress of world domination, taking the time to look back on their victories and erasing their defeats from historical records. This marks the start of the new year and often means death to come in the following days as the church members become fired up to conquer.

The Cleansing Day: on the 106th day, every 58 years, the Church gathers its forces to start a massive crusade over the world. This is started by a day where each and every member of the Light's Church gathers together and gathers offerings to the Light. The next day, they have a massive feast for the Crusaders, and on the next day the Crusaders depart for their slaughter. This has happened 8 times so far, with the 8th Crusade ongoing.
