Ralai is known by mortals as the God of the Sun, Giver of Light. Although Ralai is symbolized by many things, the most common depiction is of a knight donning golden armor, wielding a torch. The Order of Ralai uses this particular depiction, and The Order of Ralai itself is depicted by a torch, held by a golden gauntlet. The Order of Ralai rules over the Theocracy of the Sun, with the Arch-bishop serving as the de-facto ruler.
 

Worshippers

Ralai is one of the most popular deities to worship. As God of the Sun, many a farmer worships Ralai. So too do many of those who enforce the laws of the land, as Ralai is known to be just, kind to the innocent and unrelenting upon the wicked.
  Those who worship Ralai special meaning to the rising of the sun. The east, where the sun rises, is a holy and devout location. Those fervent believers whose ideals are more fanatical even believe the west, where the sun sets, to be a place of misfortune and evil. Even more so, those places where which the light of the sun does not reach.
 

Early History

Upon arriving in Adelan, those pilgrims who belonged to the Church of the Light formed their own little community on the northern coastline, like the other religious communities. As the forests of Adelan were dense and the canopy blocked out most of the light, the worshipers of Ralai were quick to decide to remain on the coast. As such, they were the last to make contact with the Ish'Shulee. Eventually, the more fanatical of the believers would go on to instigate conflict with the native Ish'Shulee, and begin a war that would span many years, and lead to the extinction of the Ish'Shulee.
  In later years, the pilgrims would journey to the eastern coast, where the plains and hills stretched beyond the horizon, and there they would build the precursor to Ra, capital of the Theocracy of the Sun.
 

The Theocracy of the Sun

The Order of Ralai rules over the Theocracy, their figurehead serving as a near uncontested and all powerful leader for the nation. Other religions are very much disadvantaged by this, as the Arch-bishop of the Order of Ralai affords their own temples significant benefits, which makes it all but impossible to vie for followers against the Order.
