This was a deity whose creation had a foundation of tradition.

The Holy Light's doctrine had taken root in Transia, and it had been only seven months at most since it had first raised its banner. The only reason its seed of faith could stir in the Warp was the advantage of outsiders being so emotionally expressive.
