Prosperity

Charity

Fortune

Known throughout the countries of Meranthe, wherever The Iridescent Light travels, prosperity, joy, and the arts follow. 

Often symbolized by a sparrow with a rainbow feathered tail, this group represents creativity, community, and empowerment of others.
A group founded on the beliefs of spreading joy and compassion throughout Meranthe alongside the teachings and radiance of Mestra, where the caravan travels they help anyone within their path from the smallest peasant to the most important of nobles.

The caravan includes many members of the Troupe of Shimmer, a few of which make their claims as Bards or even Scintillate. Abiding by the same tenets, The Iridescent Light, strives to promote art, joy, and individualism throughout Meranthe.

Their approach is often heralded by the sound of music or a member running ahead to announce the upcoming caravan that will bring prosperity in their wake contributing funds to local economies, bringing healing, and spreading happiness with music, dance, and the arts.

With no allegiance to their name, they are happy to help any traveler in their path or contribute to noble houses who reach out and request assistance in the arts, or receive the blessings of Mestra from their Scintillate leader.



The Iridescent Light is not a normal religion but an accumulation of those with similar values and outlooks on life. Whether they have joined for the free nomadic life, the enjoyment of the arts, or a found family, individuals are welcomed into the caravan with open arms and acceptance.


Heading this group is Scintillate Hemera and Purveyor Sahra Dryden.
While the duo founded the caravan, the group works on a system of equal respect and responsibility. 

No art is higher than another, those who have been there longer are no more important than someone who has just joined. All are brought together for the longevity and prosperity of all they come across. 

“Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again.”

OOC Note: While the faith of the group is heavy Mestran worship and involved in the arts, as long as you abide by the nomadic lifestyle and have the intent to help others and spread joy, you will be welcome into The Iridescent Light.

Many merchants travel alongside the artists, selling paintings, their services as alchemists or artificers, and additional goods.

"For the lost, the down trodden, those who desire homes without religious persecution or dictation. A safe place for scholars, merchants, and art lovers alike, Menagerie is the home for you.

As the Caravan settles within this beautiful settlement, I call for all those who share this mentality to come live amongst likeminded individuals."

While the Caravan itself may no longer be nomadic, those of the Iridescent Light are still encouraged to travel from city to city bringing fortune, charity, beauty, and kindness.

Any who wish to learn about Mestra and possibly join the Iridescence feel free to reach out to Menagerie's High Scintillate: Hemera Valmonte.
