Martyr's Day
- Due to the vicious killing of Astroist followers in the war between Luria Nova and Swordfell, the church has decided to declare the first day of Autumn to be Martyr's Day.
- A feast of remembrance will be held following a hunt.
- As night falls and the Bloodstars rise, the people will congregate beneath the stars, and a priest will pour water from a cup into open hands symbolizing faith, fellowship, and unity in the face of dark times.

| Pagans, heretics, and believers of other faiths have gone on the rise in Port Nebel. What was once a flourishing center of the faith, now sees barely more than one in ten believers. Combating this shift requires an understanding of where Concerns about the rise of Lux Nova in Luria Nova suggest there may be an influx from the neighboring regions, or from the sea routes connected to the city. Nebel itself is home to the Azure Vale, an area considered haunted by locals due to the atrocities committed by a warlord many many years ago. As religious conflicts arise between the two faiths and local Astroists are swayed to the Lux Nova faith, a rise in the supposed whispers of the dead and increases in nightmares are causing people to flee for safety in the walls of Port Nebel.
Port Nebel houses a vast and splendid temple of the faith, and while it may help bring more people into the flock, it is difficult without an appropriate level of preaching to assist from the clergy.

| On the Role of the Luminary
|
In light of Luminary Dawn's disappearance, we at the Brokerage decided to do a dive into the role of the Luminary and understand what it was that he did in his daily work with the faith.
- The Luminary is a role elected by at least 2 of the 3 Lights (Elders of the Temple).
- The role is a non-voting advisory role, and is given exclusively to priests.
- Luminaries are sometimes elected to keep balance among the elders and allow for others to join in a voting capacity.
- As they are advisors, and must have the trust of at least 2 Lights, they are still highly influential in the faith.
- Luminaries are often representative of one of the Stars and help oversee the aspect of the faith their Light governs.
