Arriving at Mt Bur-Omisace, Kiltia made it the center of his faith. Even after his death, the Light of Kiltia continues to flourish, creating churches and accepting followers until all of Ivalice is converted. Those who hold to this faith are known as the Kiltias. Kiltias are known to end their prayers with the name of their deity, Faram, and do the gesture of crossing their chest. It is implied that those of the Kiltia faith believe in an afterlife, as a part of their funeral rites asks for the Great Father to guide the body's return to the earth, and to guide the spirit's return to "the Mother of All" where it shall find peace.

In this age where magic is still as common as sellswords, Leá Monde was carved with the ancient Kildean lettering to strengthen her pact with the Dark; the formless energy and source of magic, Müllenkamp carved the city with Kildean glyphs to create what is known as the Gran Grimoire, and sealed it with the Blood-Sin tattoo on her back.

It is implied that those of the Kiltia faith believe in an afterlife, as a part of their funeral rites asks for the Great Father to guide the body's return to the earth, and to guide the spirit's return to "the Mother of All" where it shall find peace. Though influential, followers do not mix their faith with government affairs and the church had willingly abandoned the power to influence the government, fearing oppression and distrust. Those with high ranks are forbidden to enter politics, and the religion maintains a neutral stance with all surrounding territories. Several years after Final Fantasy XII, a separate sect is created by Saint Ajora, claiming Faram alone worthy of worship. This further wanes the popularity of the Light of Kiltia sect.

As time passed, the Iocus priesthood slowly gain momentum within Valendia until it became a powerful and influential priesthood. It was at this time that Müllenkamp was branded a heretical cult and the Inquisition was held to cleanse the city of Leá Monde. Ironically, the Iocus priesthood adapted the Blood-Sin tattoo, which they called the Rood Inverse; only rotating it upside-down to become the Rood of the Iocus priesthood. Moreover, while magic and the Dark was abhorred in Valendia, the Iocus priesthood particularly the Cardinal endorsed its use in the higher echelons of the Order of the Crimson Blades. Secretly, the Valendian Parliament also seek to harness the powers of the Dark.
