Lightning Temple

Young and impetuous, the Dragon of lightning is the seeker of hazardous knowledge, of crafts that are handed down by the shortlived palmans from father to child, of myriad facts about the world which he views from on high. Like the wind, he travels everywhere to collect all the sights and sounds he can pick on his way.

Ylath never asked to be worshipped. His only commandment is that his followers should explore, learn, and enjoy all things in life, but mostly, that they should do as they wish, as long as they respect and honour the world that the Dragons created.

In the dawn of time, Ylath chose the humans, the youngest and most curious race as his own. When the Empire was founded, Sylath was its primary deity. However, its time of worship was short-lived though. Angels, who are the servants of Elrath, came to seek shelter in the empire, and this heralded a religious change to come.

However, Ylath is still very popular among the nomad barbarian tribes that roam the vast territories stretching beyond the Empire. He is also honored by the travelers, bards, and spies, by the mummers, courtiers, rakes and thieves, and even by some Wizards (for his extensive arcane knowledge but also his tendency to make even the simpler facts appear “hermetic”). Also, despite being no longer the center of worship in the empire, Ylath is still honored by some of its Dukes and nobles.
