Oralius was a central figure noted as an incorporeal being in the Cardassian faith known as the Oralian Way.

According to the dictates made by Oralius, the many truths were subjective and that the Way was not a goal but a path.

The Guide for the Oralian Way served as a vessel for the presence of Oralius. (DS9 - Terok Nor novel: Dawn of the Eagles)
