peoples have adopted the Volcano Twins for their fertility
powers and their ability to tame volcanoes. The twins

handsome, ebony-skinned man. Diamonds are sacred to
this cult and raw oil is burned in the temples. Temples are
found on volcanoes and in nearby settlements and range
in size from simple shrines to the Great Temples at the
Vent, Meeting Hall and Breakwater volcanoes. Shrines

Carmanos Law-Bringer
Founder and Prophet
The great prophet Carmanos brought the word of God
to the peoples of the Oronin valley. He revealed how
the Maker created two beings to oversee the world. At
first, Idovanus, the Good God, ruled over everything but
in time Ganesatarus, the Evil God, overcame him in the
Great Darkness. Since the Dawn, however, Idovanus has
grown in strength, especially when Carmanos’s father,
Sylanthir Forefront, overthrew the evil Spolite Empire
and their dark witches.
The nobles and knights, now known as the Karmanoi,
realised that their sorcery, which came from Malkan,
was evil. Under the guidance of their Viziers, they turned
to worship Idovanus through other gods. Samandar, the
Shah of Carmania, now rules and wages war against
the New Dragon Sun of Dara Happa. Carmanos is
depicted as a regal youth, clad in tunic and bearing
a dagger. His servants are expected to serve the light
through honour, dignity and fierce war against evil.
Temples of Carmanos are found throughout the land
now bearing his name and range from small shrines
of a noble family to the great temple at Shardash.
Runes: Law, Light, Mastery.
Pantheon: Carmania.
