Church of Endless Day

= Church of Endless Day = The Church of Endless day is a religious movement based in Valis Statera. Primarily serving as doomsayers, the Church is consumed with the approach of an apocalyptic event known as The Long Night which is inevitable. The only way to ensure that the creatures of the night do not consume the world is to spread the good word of the faith to as many as possible. If the church converts enough to the faith, then civilization will live through the Long Night by the light of the faithful. Their symbol is that of a five arm candelabra behind a brilliant sun with rays shooting out.

History
The Church arose in the aftermath of the humanoid rebellion against their Drow overlords. Of all the creatures of the night, the Church demonizes the Drow the most given their complicated history with humans. Although not necessarily a state sanctioned religion, the government of Valis Statera acknowledges that many of its people believe in the Church and appreciate its work throughout the kingdom.
