        Fonrit - Ompalam, Artmal and Jraktal

OMPALAM -- the god of slavery. A very important god in Fonrit and closely tied to the worship of Garangordos the Cruel. Teaches spells which enforce total obedience to one's master. Does NOT have spells that make you into a slave, but rather has magic that makes you a better slave (and master).

ARTMAL -- the crippled god. Worshiped only by the Blues and not all of them. One-time ruler of Pamaltela, fallen to a pathetic state. Son of the Blue Moon. His gifts and blessings are a secret to outsiders, but the blues seem to find comfort in them.

JRAKTAL -- the god of Tap. Regarded as a rather evil god even in Fonrit. His worshipers are themselves afflicted by their god, and find themselves necessarily wreaking wider and wider havoc in order to maintain themselves at the same level of power. Eventually, they fail, and begin a very quick slide into spiritually destruction. Not so much a "god" as a dangerous cosmic secret.

        Umathela - Worath

WORATH -- the most important local name for whom the God-Learners termed Orlanth. Unless I'm getting my Woraths mixed up.
