| |
| − | When Menkharra was slain by the Amma, Leyanna was killed along with all the other Amma by a grief-stricken [[Alas]]. Devastated by her loss Schiraman set out to slay Alas but was halted by his daughter. Although he is normally unbending in his pursuit of law, Hellani remains the one person who can sometimes persuade him to favour compassion in its stead.

| − |
| |
| − | During the [[Third Age]], and again at the end of the [[Fifth Age|Fifth]] Schiraman left Reshomme to travel the [[Wild Sea]] in search for the [[Hub Sphere]]. During these absences, the more recent of which only ended at the start of the [[Eighth Age]], the forces of Law were greatly weakened - although Schiraman's armies continued to battle against chaos, led by the great [[Angel]] [[Jurakell]].

| − | Major worshippers of Schiraman on Teth include the [[Royal Order of the Lion]] in [[Mantoni]], the [[High Church of Schiraman]] in [[Antalon]], the [[Church of Law]] in [[Thalas]] and the [[Cult of Schiraman]] in [[Saralot]].
