I was musing on the Arkat vs Talor question, when suddenly it struck
me. Carmanians see Arkat and Talor as mirror images of each other.
One brought light. One brought darkness. One destroyed the dark
Gbaji. One destroyed the light Gbaji. One left a legacy of joy, the
other was doomed.
Therefore...
Arkat
Arkat the Devourer was a great warrior who turned to darkness. His
greatest deed was to free the world from Gbaji the Deceiver. Where
the Deceiver was bright Arkat opposed the blinding light and brought
darkness to a land that needed it. His story shows us why the ways of
darkness can be dangerous, for by devouring the Deceiver he sealed
his own doom.
Talor
Talor, the Laughing Warrior, battled darkness and brought light. His
greatest deed was to free the world from Gbaji the Deceiver. Where
the Deceiver was dark Talor opposed the devouring darkness and
brought light to a land that needed it. He taught the Song of Battle
by which our hazars may achieve strength through joy.
