If Sezrekan is considered the wickedest of wizards ever to plague the Known World, then Anamman
would be the kindest. According to the old stories, Anamman would wander the entire Known World
followed by flocks of small rainbow birds that would eat all the flies and fleas plaguing villages, then die at
their feet, plucked and plump. Many a songs are still sung about how tender and filling were these
Anamman roasts.

A famous story is, late one night, a farmer heard something in his barn and upon investigating, he say
Anamman hunched over a pregnant heffer, calming the mother and delivering the young calf. With the
calf in his arms, Anamman turned to the farmer with a warm smile telling him that his calf would be a
blessing unto the village. Indeed Anamman was right, for in the coming years, that calf, now grown tall
and strong, provided the village with an unending supply of the sweetest milk.

Those who follow the teachings of Anamman are expected to put everyone and everything before
themselves, for the betterment of all existence. Only those with a pure heart will receive Anammans aid.

When patron taint is indicated for Anamman, roll 1d6 on the table below. When a caster has acquired all
six taints at all levels of effect, there is no need to continue rolling.

1: The caster feels the overwhelming need to give who have done wrong a second chance. If this result is
rolled again, the caster feels the overwhelming urge to also give those who have done wrong to people
he/she knows a second chance. If this result is rolled a third time, the caster feels the overwhelming need
to also give those who wronged him/her a second chance.

2: The eternal kindness of the caster starts to show, aging him visibly 10 years. If this result is rolled a
second time, add an additional 10 years. If this result is rolled a third time, add an additional 10 years plus
the casters eyes turn into the softest, most inviting color of light blue.


3: The caster is overcome with the pacificity of Anamman, reducing his/her Strength by 1. if this result is
rolled a second time, the caster becomes further involved in healing and counseling those in need, his/her
Strength is further reduced by 1. If this result is rolled for a third time, no promise can keep the caster
away from those in need and can only be motivated by those who need help. His/her Strength is further
reduced by 1.

4: The caster develops a healing aura. Wherever the caster goes, natural life around him/her grow a little
faster and a little taller, trees bear slightly larger fruit and animals grow slightly fatter. If this result is rolled
again, the healing aura expands both in area and potency, entire villages notice the effects of the casters
presence not even a week after the caster passed through. If this result is rolled a third time, the aura is
so potent that even malicious natural life becomes slightly calmed after the caster has passed through.

5: Flowing with kindness, the caster feels obligated to donate 5% of his/her earnings to any cause of
kindness he/she comes across. If this result is rolled again, this donation increases to 10%. If this result is
rolled a third time, this donation increases to 15%.

6: There is a 1% chance that when the caster opens a gateway, the other side of the gateway is
hundreds of miles away in a location that also has a gateway in the same plane of existence. This
location may be random or discerned by Anamman as a place the caster needs to be. If this result is
rolled again, that chance increases to 3%. If this result is rolled a third time, that chance increases to 5%.

Anamman is always will to help those who do good, with any task to better the world. When a caster
utilizes spellburn, roll 1d4 on the table below when a request is made.

1: The caster is transported to another plane, where time is significantly slower, to help with a menial task
that could take hours. This task could be to help build a barn, dig for a well, plant a crop etc. as long as
this task is for the betterment of existence. Upon completion of this task, the caster appears back on
his/her native plane. No time seems to have passed and he finds him/herself weakened by whatever
extent he/she sacrificed ability score points for spellburn.

point of attribute spent.

3: The caster is granted the spellburn bonus, but must succeed on a minor quest to better someones life
in the next 1d4 weeks. This someone must not be an individual with which the caster has had contact and
must have an issue that is at least a step above trivial. This issues solution must also be aligned with the
principles of Anamman.

4: Calming peace envelops the caster, warming even his/her soul. The caster is granted a single DC 15
Will save; on a successful save the caster slumps onto the ground, weakened by the spellburn, but in a
noticeably calm mood. On a filed save - in lieu of the spellburn - the caster is receives a +5 bonus to all
spell checks for the next 1d6 rounds, yet for that duration, the caster perceives all to be friend.
