Faithful of the Sun
"Corona's light is a shining example to everyone. It cleanses and drives out sickness. It shows the true path, and illuminates evil so we can see its real nature.
"Corona's faithful serve the same purposes, each in our own way. We accept that no mortal can live up to perfection, but believe that striving to be the best we can is a noble way to live. If we can serve to inspire others to do the same, all the better.
"My friend Kellian enjoys teasing me for my lack of subtlety, and jokes that this is a tenet of my faith as well. I say, being straightforward is no character flaw."
Visandra Decalos, Faun Paladin of Corona
