The Church of Sartan/Book of Prayers
History
The oldest known copy of the Book of Prayers is kept in a special shrine in the City of Ibladesh on the East Island. Nobody knows how this mixture of texts, proverbs, prayers, wise sayings was combined into one book. One of the Followers of the Church of Ibladesh took a copy of this book with him to Sartania, where a new version of it was brought out. The new version consists out of all the texts, prayers etc. of the Book of Prayers of the Church of Ibladesh in which Sartan is refered to or named. Still Followers sometimes find Artifacts in which new texts, prayers etc. are written down. Those are then added to the Book of Prayers. Reading in the Book of Prayers is not necessary. However it's prayers are often (mis)quoted on special occasions.
