Daysenerus and Tarumath
By Greg Stafford
Daysenerus and Tarumath were two deities introduced by Nysalor to the people of the World Council.
Each was a deity with a mystical component to teach worshippers the ultimate liberation as taught
by Nysalor. Both cults went awry as worshippers failed to understand and uphold the lofty principles
of Nysalor.
Daysenerus
High Sun introduced by Nysalor.
Daysenerus iluminted three devotees at the Battle of Night and Day. The first was General Elmgatum,
who was so filled he was taken right to Wisdom and his body expired. The second was Lord Perides,
who built he first sun Dome Temple at Vaantes after the battle. Third was Lord Palangio, who seized
the power for his personal selfish use. Many temples were founded over the next decades, but they
were nearly all destroyed in Arkat's devastating counterattack at the end of the Gbaji Wars.
Daysenerus is worshipped in modern Glorantha under the name of Yelmalio.
Tarumath
High Storm introduced by Nysalor
Lokamayadon absorbed the principles at the Battle of Night and Day and struggled to master them
thereafter, but failed to do so. He was killed at the Battle of the Verge and the cult of Tarumath
diminished in popularity. Only certain ritual roles were kept until the coming of Arkat, who
destroyed it all.
