After many years of dedication, growth, and hard work, the Iridescent Light is proud to call itself one of the foremost religious sects of the Mestran faith. Nestled within the always expanding city of Menagerie the Iridescent Light's goal is as it has always been.

Prosperity ☼ Charity ☼ Compassion ☼ Good Fortune

Symbolized by a sparrow with a rainbow tail, this group continues to represent creativity, community, compassion, empowerment, and bringing light even within the darkness of the world. A group founded on the beliefs of spreading joy and compassion throughout Meranthe alongside the teachings and radiance of Mestra.
Where the Iridescence goes acts of kindness and charity follow, assisting the smallest peasant to the most important of nobles.

A sect beneath originally beneath the Troupe of Shimmer it prides itself on its origins and the tenets it draws from the nomadic sect of Mestran faith. Though the Iridescent Light itself may no longer be a nomadic caravan, many of its members travel throughout Meranthe to spread these acts of kindness and this love of art and creation.
