Damaran is the [[Touv]] god of vermin and other creeping things, as well as the flight-instinct essential to survival. His symbol is ribbons of black metal.

==Description==
Damaran is the vermin that scuttles. He is depicted as a strong Touv man with a skulking look about him, accompanied by rats and insects.

==Relationships==
Damaran obeys his father, [[Meyanok]], unquestioningly, and is easily bullied into service by his older sister [[Vara]]. He often flees when confronted by enemies of any strength.

==Realm==
The Touv gods inhabit the "spirit world" coincident with the realms of the Touv, a somewhat hypothetical realm. 

==Dogma==
The chief commandment of Damaran is to survive no matter what, to find food no matter how strange or disgusting the environment, to thrive where nothing should be expected to live, and to run away when necessary.

==Worshipers==
===Clergy===
Damaran's clerics serve their communities in times of famine, and often lead reclusive tribes hidden in the deepest jungles. They can call hordes of vermin on those who anger them, or if ordered to do so by those they serve. Their favored weapon is the javelin; they can also be seen wielding the atl-atl, club, dagger, short bow, and staff. They wear ribbons of black metal on their arms, neck, and legs.

==Myths and legends==
Damaran hatched from one of three eggs laid by Meyanok after that god's lust mated with his own anger. Damaran was sent forth by his father to infest the home of [[Kundo]] with crawling and biting things, but he fled when confronted.
