|Introduction=The '''Path of Tñarilu''' is the branch of [[Osia]] ~~concerned~~ with the ~~manipulation~~ of light ~~spirits~~ associated with [[Tñarilu]], the [[Primordial Spirit]] of light. Its practitioners, known as disciples of the Path of Tñarilu, ~~attune themselves to the conscious presence of light and~~ use it for illumination, guidance, and ~~protection~~.

|Introduction=The '''Path of Tñarilu''' is the branch of [[Osia]] that works with the spirits of light associated with [[Tñarilu]], the [[Primordial Spirit]] of light. Its practitioners, known as disciples of the Path of Tñarilu, use it for illumination, guidance and protection. The path has many adherents.

|~~Spiritual Hierarchy~~=The Path of Tñarilu ~~recognizes three classes~~ of light spirits, ~~distinguished by consciousness~~ and ~~strength:~~

|History=Humans took up the Path of Tñarilu after the [[Great Migration]]. Once the [[Ascendant Spirit|Ascendant Spirits]] had taught them the methods of Osia, humans began to work with the spirits of the Primordial Spirits, and the Path of Tñarilu was one of the first paths they followed.

|Principles=The Path of Tñarilu is the study of light in two senses: physical light, and the clarity and revelation that light brings. Both are central to the path, though clarity and revelation are often held to be the more valuable. Its disciples learn to perceive the spirits of light, to understand them, and to work with them, following the three principles of [[Attunement]].

* ~~'''~~Nascent Spirits~~''' – Found~~ in simple, flickering lights. ~~They are easily attuned~~ to ~~and are used for~~ training and minor rituals.

|Spiritual Hierarchy=* [[Nascent Spirit|Nascent Spirits]] are found in simple, flickering lights. Disciples learn to command them first, in training and in minor rituals.

* ~~'''~~Mature Spirits~~''' – Found~~ in enduring sources of light such as hearths, lighthouses, and sacred flames. ~~These spirits are semi-conscious and require deeper [[attunement]]~~.

* [[Mature Spirit|Mature Spirits]] are found in enduring sources of light, such as the light of hearths, lighthouses and sacred flames. Disciples must negotiate with them.

* ~~'''~~Ancestral Spirits~~''' – Found~~ in celestial ~~bodies~~ and mythic sources of light, such as the sun. ~~Interaction with these spirits is rare and often dangerous~~, and ~~is attempted~~ only by the most advanced disciples ~~of the Path of Tñarilu~~.

* [[Ancestral Spirit|Ancestral Spirits]] are found in celestial and mythic sources of light, such as the sun. They seldom heed mortals, and only the most advanced disciples attempt to approach them.

|Training and Attunement=~~Training~~ in the ~~Path~~ of ~~Tñarilu~~ begins with ~~exposure to nascent spirits~~ and ~~control over flame,~~ reflection, and illumination. As they progress, ~~followers of the Path of Tñarilu commune~~ with ~~mature spirits~~ under guidance ~~and are initiated into rituals that align their will with the rhythms~~ of ~~light~~. Master disciples may attempt brief attunements with ~~ancestral spirits, usually during eclipses, solstices, or solar alignments~~, and do so with great caution.

|Training and Attunement=The Path of Tñarilu is taught by schools and orders in many places, and its disciples hold the usual ranks of the [[Osiari]]. Training begins with Nascent Spirits and simple work with reflection and illumination. As they progress, disciples learn to negotiate with Mature Spirits under the guidance of a teacher. Master disciples may attempt brief attunements with Ancestral Spirits, and do so with great caution.
