Summertide

Summertide is a nature-focused branch of the Illumination faith, rooted in the teachings of the goddess Sorona and the goddess Asir's belief in Groman as the prophesied hero. The faith emphasizes balance, respect for land and animals, and reparations to the dragons.  

"In the dappled light of the forest and the murmur of flowing streams, the wisdom of Sorona and Asir whispers to us. We walk the path of Groman, finding sacred equilibrium between fang and leaf, fire and water. It is not merely the land we seek to heal, but the very sinews of the world itself, stitched together by the Covenant's unbreakable thread."

~ Asir Summertide
From the Scriptures of Saint Vale Van Dem

Summertide's naturalistic focus and distinct belief in Groman as the prophesied savior set it apart from the other parts of Illumination. While viewed positively by the Covenant and remembered as healers by other paths, Summertide may face misconceptions and misinterpretations from those who see them as mere naturalists.
