Anmura

**Anmura** is the Ethuveraz god of the sun and war.

## Details

Anmura is also a name seemingly used for the sun and/or the sunrise: when Maia Drazhar watched the sunrise, he described it as: "the glory of Anmura rising from Osreian's embrace."

Anmura is part of the Five-Fold Harmony, along with Osreian, Csaivo, Ulis, and Cstheio Czireizhasan.

The wolf is the aspect of Anmura that is most favorable to tasks undertaken after dark. There was an organization called the Wolves of Anmura. “When the mysteries of Anmura were proscribed two thousand years [before *The Witness for the Dead*], the Warlord of Amalo used it as an excuse to loot and burn the Wolves’ compound on the Hill of Werewolves, then killed everyone they found.” In the present, remnants of memories of the massacre of the Wolves of Anmura repeat the event every night.

There is some debate about the history of the massacre of the Wolves of Anmura. Ulthora Csathamar noted that the story he was familiar with was that “it was only the last praeceptor of the Wolves of Anmura who led them into heresy and that was why the Archprelate turned against them. As if the two things had happened very close together.” But information newly recovered from their stronghold on the Hill of Werewolves suggests that the Wolves of Anmura were practicing their heresies for some time before being caught.

The knights of Anmura wear sun masks. The Captain of the Untheileneise Guard is robed, sun-masked, and armored as both prelate and knight of Anmura when he takes his oath to the emperor.

There is an ancient mystery of Anmura the Protector, from which the Vigilant Brotherhood sprang.

## Trivia

* Anmura's devotees wear robes of a deep marigold color.
* There are four Anmureise mysteries still practiced by the Vigilant Brotherhood and not recognized by the prelacy. They were proscribed 2000 years ago because the Anmureisei “had become greedy and corrupt, arrogantly assuming themselves above the rule of the emperor, above the rule of the Archprelate. And there were darker stories, as there always were in such cases. When the Archprelate Vinvedris revoked his protection, the Amaleise prince was not the only one who had responded with violence. The Anmureisei had been filling up that ledger book for decades.”
* Aäthis Rohethar is a scholar studying the dissolution of the Anmureise mysteries.
* The Anmur'theileian is seemingly named for Anmura. Ulthora wrote a thesis on the building of the Anmur'theileian.
