The Marun

Overview
The Marun are the malevolent counterpart to the Valun. They were the first brood of offspring from Honua and were overthrown by the Valun and cast down into Infernum, a prison deep inside the earth. While in their prison, the Marun allowed their rage and hatred to twist their forms into almost unrecognizable shapes. The Marun are actually stronger then their siblings, but the combination of the Demons betrayal and the advantage the Valun had in numbers proved to be their downfall.

The Marun

 * Odium
 * A giant spider creature with the face of a crying man.
 * Odium is madness personified. His once handsome form has twisted into the abomination that lurks in the darkness of Infernum.
 * Furore
 * A half woman-half snake creature.
 * Furore holds so much fury that it can be felt from a distance by all of the Valun. She was once incredibly vain and took great pride in her beauty, now she is monstrous to look at and she would see her younger sibling utterly destroyed as punishment.
 * Irati
 * A shapeless mass with many faces.
 * Irati is able to assume the shape of any animal or creature he wishes but they all bear his trademark mask.
 * Insanire
 * A wingless dragon-like creature with antlers.
 * A massive creature that constantly and futilely tears at the walls of his prison.
 * Tristitia
 * A large cat with the face of a woman and the tail of a scorpion.
 * Tristitia is calm in comparison to the others, she simply sleeps and waits for the time when it will be able to exact her revenge.

Cultu Nigrum
There is a very small number of people in Fanua that worship the old gods. Most people in the country are either ignorant of their existence or just write them off as myth and legend. Cultu Nigrum is a group of people from varying social classes that worship the Marun and pray for their release from Infernum. They believe that it is the Marun that will destroy the chaos entity Vevesi in the final days of the world and usher in a new age of perfect balance. They view the Valun as usurpers who would see the Vevesi be victorious in the end.
