| - | The Path of the Unburnt is based around fire worship and is the defining feature of Casadian society. Followers of the Path believe that there is an inner Fire within us all. Embracing one's inner Fire requires committing oneself to a higher purpose that supersedes one's own selfish ambition. The Fire rewards those who dedicate themselves to it with a number of benefits. The Unburnt are resistant, and in very rare cases immune, to fire. The Fire also grants devotees improved physical stamina, though this varies greatly from person to person. | + | The Path of the Unburnt is based around fire worship and is the defining feature of [[wiki:realms:casadia|Casadian]] society.

| The Path of the Unburnt has two distinct sects separated by how they view the inner Fire. Some believe that the Fire is merely an inherent natural force like the wind or tides, while the majority believe that the Fire is given to the Unburnt by a god of order (or some sort of powerful magic being) to help them battle chaos. The latter sect's belief led to the creation of the Altheri, a warrior order dedicated to combating chaos and defending civilization. Casadian society has thus evolved to support and perpetuate this warrior brotherhood. Despite this fundamental divide, the sects are non-competitive and are able to peacefully coexist. | The Path of the Unburnt has two distinct sects separated by how they view the inner Fire.
