The patrons of the Anarian faith. When they first arrived to Drokhan, there were originally 10 members. They defeated most gods, but the Circle of Death killed The Inquisitor, so the Anar made a deal with them and granted them the title of Deathweavers in their pantheon. Aerranaeaxx was made the Dragon King under the condition he eradicated his Chaos Dragon family and repelled any draconic incursions or threats to the Curse of the Dragon. Lucifer was allowed to continue his rule of Hell under the condition he never come to the material plane, and any infernal incursions from Hell would require him to send his Unknowns to end it. They helped end World War Hell, killing Abaddon and sending The Cosmic Horror and its minions back to their own realm. Most gods and creatures deemed to be monsters or too powerful were eradicated or driven into exile as the Anarian sphere of influence expanded.
In the aftermath, the Anar consolidated their dominion not only through conquest, but through control of perception and belief. They erased records of their arrival, silenced histories of their war, and struck down any surviving monuments to the old pantheons. To the modern world, the Anar are not usurpers, but originators—eternal and unquestioned. The death of the Inquisitor has been purged from all known texts, their name unwritten by decree of divine will. The Deathweavers, while still feared in secret, are regarded as little more than obscure divine agents by the common faithful.
The surviving Anar, now nine in number, rule from a distance. Each holds dominion over a primal aspect of existence: the Architect shapes and commands, the Void consumes and unravels, the Judge defines law and truth, the Executioner delivers divine punishment, the Warden oversees containment and order, the Storm embodies violent change, the Oracle whispers unseen fate, the Voice carries divine will to mortals, and the Trickster subverts from within.
Each god works through a hidden disciple, empowered by divine essence and entrusted with secret missions to preserve the Anarian vision. Most are unknown to the public, cloaked behind layers of disinformation. Only the disciples of the Judge, Warden, and Voice are known to exist—and even then, their true roles are obscured. The Trickster's disciple, for instance, is rumored among the criminal underworld to be a ghostly kingpin manipulating law enforcement and organized crime alike, all under the guise of a devout benefactor.
To the Anar, control is not merely divine—it is absolute. Truth is crafted, miracles are illusions, and any proof of rebellion or otherworldly interference is swiftly and silently removed. Even magic itself has been reduced to myth, stamped out or hidden under layers of fear and regulation.
Their temples teach that the world has always been under their care. That chaos and demons are ancient lies. That dragons never had a kingdom. That the gods before were fictions, idols of ignorance. And in every corner of the world, the faithful nod and kneel.
