Holy Day
Samek'kema August 2nd. The Lothanasi observed this day by lighting a sacred fire in the temple and burning a special mixture of herbs and flowers that is believed to open the mind to receive visions from Samekkh. Merai received such a vision during the Samek'kema of 707 CR.
Current Activities
Samekkh is the High Lord of Pyralis protectorate within the Empire. His realm encompasses only the original city-state of Pyralis and a small region of its surrounding lands, not the entire area that was once controlled by the Pyralian Confederation. After the Great Fall he spent many years in the company of his current Oracle, Ophelia; he eventually developed a deep bond with her that most would call love, and apotheosized her to be his immortal consort. He came to Pyralis when the Confederation was self-destructing, around 1200 CR. The suggestions he made for reforming the government proved to be successful, and he was then elevated to High Lord by public acclamation. He brought Pyralis into the Empire by treaty in 1693.
