Tol'vir faith #681

The Light

Some of the Tol'vir use Light-based abilities, and call forth the powers of Light: High Prophet Barim summons forth the powers of Heaven's Fury and Repentance, while Temple Guardian Anhuur varies from Searing Light to Divine Reckoning. The Dungeon Journal clarifies that these two do utilize the powers of the light, but the description of the latter makes it clear the creature had to be specifically empowered to utilize these powers, making it unlikely to be available to the majority of the Tol'vir. The Sun

Tol'vir priests are referred to as sun priests, which could indicate some sort of connection with the sun. Indeed, the sun is often referred in locations throughout Uldum (Seal of the Sun King, Obelisk of the Sun, Tomb of the Sun King) and there is a temple that is explicitly powered by the sun. In addition, statues of Rahj, the Watcher of the sun, are a common sight throughout Uldum. However, many of these locations were constructed (and presumably named) by the Titans, so it might not be indicative of the Tol'vir religion. The Sun Priests, which according to N [120 Daily] Blind Leading the Blind are found in all tol'vir tribes, wield solar magic. One of High Priest Amet's goodbye quotes is "Have faith in the sun." The Amathet also make heavy use of solar magic. Immortality

As revealed in the Dungeon Journal, General Husam was assigned his duties personally from the Titans. Despite being exposed to the curse of flesh, he remained relatively ageless and even lived to see the curse lifted. It could be that, despite being cursed, the Tol'vir maintained their immortality. On the other hand, many quests refer to tol'vir ancestors and legends of the past, such as N [30-35] The Secret of Nahom and N [30-35] The Element of Supplies.

Since the Egyptian religion is sometimes called the Kemetic religion, why not call it the Uldumic religion?

Didn't we basically made that religion a heresy in ck2? It was a militaristic titan based religion with elements of light, why don't just repeat that?

unlikely to be available to the majority of the Tol'vir.

Also this brings some doubt. It's possible that just some worship the Sun, not all of them. If in reality everyone worships sun there maybe we can keep the heresy AND make Uldumic faith? Something like militant offshoot of the main one, which is basically titan, ancestor and sun worship

Isn't it Suntouched heresy ? I think it's something different from the faith of the majority of tol'virs

Yeah, basically

I think it's something different from the faith of the majority of tol'virs

That's why I typed in the end that probably if it is - it should be basically titan, ancestor and sun worshiping Uldumics VS militant titan and sun worshiping Suntouched. Sry if didn't type it out correctly
