Ann-Tyranis

Where Aramon is the god of the sun and of order, Ann-Tyranis is the god of the moon and of freedom. Depictions of Ann-Tyranis are rare, and tend to show him as being the same race as the person producing the work. As a god of freedom he is said to assume forms as easily as mortals breathe, and encourages the same diversity in his followers.

The followers of Ann-Tyranis view classifications such as race, gender, and class as inherently fluid, and believe that all hierarchies should be at least questioned, and probably dismantled. They form loose, voluntary cooperatives,rather than strict cults or churches, with each member only deferring to an other when they believe it is right to do so. For this reason groups dedicated to Ann-Tyranis appear and disband regularly, and their actions and intentions are difficult to predict.

Due to their diametrically opposed purviews, the Church of Aramon sees worship of Ann-Tyranis as inherently seditious. The church pursues leads regarding these groups doggedly, bringing them to Aramon's justice as quickly and efficiently as possible. They present the followers of Ann-Tyranis as liars and criminals, something that their prejudice against them often makes true.

Before the progroms against the followers of Ann-Tyranis started in Punta d'Oro, a large group of worshippers of Ann-Tyranis known as the Poleis inhabited a neighbourhood known as the Shadow Quarter. When the church gained political control, the entire quarter was abandoned in a single night, its inhabitants fleeing into the low-roads through the city's sewers. Since then the Poleis have formed small communities throughout the low-roads, seeking to worship in peace. The church of Aramon regularly sends paladins into the low-roads to attempt to sniff out these groups, but they very rarely see success.

In some myths about Ann-Tyranis an entity known as Sister Nox is mentioned. She is either his sister, his wife, or an aspect of his being, and sometimes more than one at the same time. She is often ascribed with the negative aspects of darkness and freedom, namely fear and chaos, but there is little consensus on to what degree she acts on them
