The Church of Azunai was the major religion of Aranna throughout the Second Age, and into the Third Age. Members of the Church believed that the ancient hero, Azunai the Defender, ascended to godhood for his deeds in life, most notable of which was his defiance of Zaramoth the Unmaker, terror of the First Age. In the centuries following Azunai's fateful duel with the tyrant, this belief spread across the continent, from the Plain of Tears in the east, to Ehb and the Utraean Peninsula far to the west.
