Dhaara

Dhaara is one of the Twin Gods, called the Dancers. Where Dhaara dances, life reaches its end, certain as the march of time. Dhaara’s domains are death, endings, law, and inevitability.

Dhaara is named as god or goddess in turn. With Anara, twin and opposite, Dhaara dances through the shadows, and where the Great Dance passes, comes endings and death.

In the World

The Veil of Veritas holds Anara and Dhaara as the Two Truths of all existence: in Anara is found the beginning, in Dhaara the ending. Their scripture is the Book of Two Truths. Two sects contend over Dhaara’s meaning: the Order of the Final Dusk, who revere Dhaara as the arbiter of every ending, and the Covenant of the Perpetual Cycle, who worship Dhaara as keeper of the cycle and the promise of rebirth that follows destruction. The Umbral are said to carry the energy of Dhaara, and many name them the hand that delivers final rites to the dead.

In Pelegor, Dhaara is worshiped as the Stormfather, and stands alongside the Tidemother in the Eternal Tide.

In Shoren, Dhaara is worshiped not as a being, but as the concept of control of the self called Dharen. Dharen stands ever before Anrai, the inner savagery.

In the present age, a man named Nulk has claimed the mantle of Dhaara under the name Vaelith.
