Despite their role in the Path of Inspiration, the [[Quori]] themselves don't believe a word of it. They know better, after all. Instead, their piety and devotion is directed to a mysterious force that resides at the center of [[Dal Quor]], giving the entire plane its life and its shape. This is the Quor Tarai, the spirit of the age, and the age it has created is a nightmare. The quori are the children of the Quor Tarai, and they call their creator '''il-Lashtavar''' (the Darkness that Dreams, or the Dreaming Dark). However, as much as they love and worship it, the quori also fear it; their studies have determined that the Quor Tarai changes at different intervals, and when it changes, the fundamental nature of Dal Quor, and of the quori themselves, is altered in the process. All but immortal, this idea of ceasing to be themselves absolutely terrifies every single quori - save for the tiny majority who embraced it, and became the creators of the [[kalashtar]]. Everything they have done in influencing [[Eberron]] ever since has been based on their fanatical devotion to the idea that if they can control the minds of all mortals, they can preserve the Quor Tarai in its present state forever.

At present, the faithful of il-Lashtavar are split into different sects. Some argue that what they have done to secure Sarlona through the Path of Inspiration is sufficient for their purposes, and will guarantee that the Quor Tarai never changes. Others argue that only when the Path of Inspiration dominates the entire world of Eberron can they be assured of their eternity.
