In addition to personal experience, you could expect to know the information on this page if you have any of the following lores:

  • GL-Pathi/3

Pathians in general feel a strong spiritual link with their home, emphasizing their connection with the Sanctuary located on the highest slope of Mount Sibylline. The Sibyls are legendary figures who gave prophecies in the sacred precinct, considered to be a source of wise counsel and prophetic opinion; an infallible authority.

The Sanctuary does not run the day to day affairs of the realm, they serve as advisers to the government and when necessary, their neutrality makes them the perfect arbiters in conflicts. They can preside over every important decision, be it state or personal. Visiting the Sanctuary before one makes life-changing decisions has become a way of life for Pathi citizens.

The Sanctuary typically encourages the citizens to settle disputes amongst themselves or with the government. Bringing minor arguments to the Sibyls' attention often had the effect of ensuring that both parties would be unhappy with the results (and insulting the Sibyls by insinuating that they have nothing better to do than hearing the petty complaints over who owns a tree).

The Sanctuary has a system of positions and titles that are unique to it.
