Church of the Silver Flame

The Church of the Silver Flame
''The Silver Flame is not the First God, but it is the Last. The Flame will sear wickedness and alight the darkness of this imperfect world. ''

HISTORY: The Holy Champion Tira Miron at Samarqand battle in the sky above Samarqand with The Great Wyrm Araxynyx, the last allied Dragon of the Dragovar Empire. Tira struck a mortal blow against the Wyrm, but the Beast's poison spread through the wounds of both Tira and her Griffin, Fellbeak. The Champion and her noble companion crashed through the roof of the Governor's Great Hall. A pillar of supernatural Silver Flame erupted from the ground, engulfing Tira. It was then that the immortal flame bonded with a mortal, allowing it to communicate with mortal creatures. Speaking through Tira, the Flame tells us to purify this world, and usher forth an eternal paradise.

BELIEFS: It is the Silver Flame, by burning away the corruption and taint of evil from the world, that will create a paradise without wickedness or pain. The Silver Flame did not create the world, but will make it perfect. Purity, self-sacrifice and redemption are consistent themes.

Rites
Daily prayer before a ritual-fire, led by local Priest, traveling Friar or itinerant Flameheart. Each week begins with the Day of Cleansing Fire. The midday meal is skipped, to allow additional time, for prayer and contemplation.

The Highest Holy Day, Ascension Day, celebrates the first mortals' hearing the Voice of the Flame, and victory over the Dragonborn.
