"Then came a traveller from afar, a soldier of many wars, come to rest. He spoke unto the gathered host saying that his name was Schiraman. Menkharra embraced him, for his many great deeds were legendary, and bade him stay to lead his children in the ways of Law."

Schiraman is the God of Law, Purity and Truth. Probably the most powerful God, he is worshipped widely on Teth and throughout the Planes of Reshomme.

Schiraman first arrived at Reshomme in the Second Age and was welcomed by Menkharra as a mighty ally. In time Schiraman fell in love with an Amma woman and she bore him a daughter - Hellani.

When Menkharra was slain by the Amma, Schiraman's lover was killed along with all the other Amma by a grief-stricken Alas.

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.

Schiraman is normally depicted as a knight clad in white armour and bearing a great Golden Sword. His symbol is the Arrow of Law.

Worshippers of Schiraman are bound to obey the Code of Schiraman.
