Ayos

Ayos is one half of Manah, who tore herself apart rather than choose between Veres and Mortus. The Fire Moon is a red wasteland scoured by howling winds. Vast canyons provide openings into caves, and these are the only places where water is found on Ayos. The presiding deity of Ayos is Azin, an aspect of Manah and sister to Ranu. Unlike Ranu, who is the higher, rational mind of Manah, Azin is the base and passionate essence of Grandmother Moon. Azin dwells within her Ruby Palace, which she shares with her reborn devotees and her pyroi, the firesteeds. Besides the goddess and her court, the only other inhabitants of Ayos are the bellicose tribes of Gargareans. They consider Azin an invader and seek to drive her away in the name of their god Gargaros. In the First Age, the Gallians attempted to colonize Ayos, but found the fearsome fire ogres intractable.
