I agree. Carmanos kills the Bull and eats its heart, taking on certain of its divine qualities. He also does this to the Lion. The opposition between Lion and Bull, Summer and Winter, is fundamental to Carmanian beliefs. This quasi-Mithraic sacrifice is my own addition to the Carmanian mythos.

I deliberately wrote the "Persian" Carmanians to fit in with most cultural archetypes for the Lunar Empire -- whether they're seen as Classical Greeks, Hellenistic Greeks, Republican Romans, Imperial Romans, Byzantines, Muslims, or even more modern empires, you can always find room for shady dealings with whoever's running Persia at the time.
