The World of Teréth End - Religions

"Wulwur looked out upon the fields where his tenants stood, despairing their wilted crop. There would again be no harvest this year. The Valanian had noticed the shrines fallen into disrepair, many of the stones had been removed to repair fences and chimneys. They had sowed Kandlan's reward in the past and now would feel his wrath."

The Ortor are not as numerous in Tasserus as they are on other continents. The Ortor-Agâru of Tasserus follow the way of the Old Lord Agârkrauk (ag AHR kruh awk), known to Uren as Agáhaz'ar and to Dwürden as Agahar (*spit*). The Ortor-Agâru believe themselves to be direct descendants of the Old Lord.
