The Eternal Flame

The Eternal Flame is the dominant religion on the continent of Ancalinor.

At it's core, the Eternal Flame believes in a timeless struggle against the darkness. The followers of the Flame see themselves of stewards and guardians of reality itself against an unrelenting and undefeatable darkness. The toils of intelligent beings is all in the name of forestalling the inevitable Consumption of light by the endless night.

The name of the Eternal Flame itself is a bit of a contradiction, for its teachings say that eventually darkness will win out, but that day may be delayed as long as those who hold the Flame stay vigilant and through their blood and sweat delay the inevitable. In this way the eternal flame is a confirmation of the conviction of the followers of the flame to endless toil and sacrifice to continue to push back the night.
