Dragon Pass and the Holy Country are the core of the Lightbringers Religion. Now people always grasp that includes Orlanth and Ernalda, but do not underestimate the societal importance of Chalana Arroy, Eurmal, Issaries, and Lhankor Mhy. These six cults are the foundation of Orlanthi society and religion. Between two-thirds and three-fourths of all adults are initiated into at least one of these cults. In rural areas, Orlanth and Ernalda overwhelmingly predominate, but in the cities, there are nearly as many initiates of Chalana Arroy, Eurmal, Issaries, and Lhankor Mhy collectively as there are Orlanth and Ernalda.
People sometimes forget that Orlanth is also one of the Lightbringers – and that the Orlanthi religion includes the whole group at the centre. It is like someone focussing solely on Zeus and Hera, and forgetting about Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hades, Poseidon, Demeter, Hesta, Aphrodite, and Hermes.
