Vadesh, the Radiant, Saint of Harmony and Community

Every child of mortalkind is deserving of a home that loves and cares for them, and every home is deserving of a community that can find room for them within it.

Vadesh is called the Radiant not because of any connection to light or the sun — though it is said that he glows with divine light. Rather, he is so named because of the joy, peace, and compassion that surrounds him, a palpable aura of acceptance and harmony. Vadesh’s teachings guide his followers through the process of finding inner tranquility, and from that foundation build up to bringing peace and cooperation to the world around them. There is no greater joy for him than in seeing a happy and prosperous community that cares for even the least of its members, and no greater sorrow than seeing a people torn asunder through strife and misunderstanding.

Symbols
