The ruler of the Belog, and, as such, the ruler of the Delgon. Considered the lord of the Enarii Pantheon. Dresses in robes befitting a God in his position, and is attended by many priests, including Largos, the High Priest. Garabon has slowly become obsessed with his Godhood. He has a group of priests who carry out extensive research in the holy books. He sees it as his duty and divine right to bring all Anyaral under his beneficent rule at whatever cost. He also believes that it his duty to rid Anyaral of the devanu, the fallen gods.

Garabon is the Enarii of war, although in the early sense of general conflict, rather than later organised warfare between fubarnii. This is the story of how he became an Enarii.

In the days after Garen’s ascension, while his children were still upon the surface of Bakahn, there was a great hero called Garabon. He took as his wife Enädu?, the eldest daughter of Garen, and she bore him four children named Änyedi?, Dyeko, Këri?, and Träken?. His devotion to her was great, and although as leader of his village he could have taken many wives, for a long while he was content with her, for she was wise and beautiful.

When Enädu? could bear him no more children, she went to her lord and told him in was time for him to take a second wife. So Garabon took as his second wife a young sempa of his village named Mropa, who bore him a child named Oran.

Garabon was a kopa of great size and strength, and had always protected his people from the dangerous beasts which roamed the land. Once a giant Baksun, driven by some madness, had run wild into the fields surrounding the village. Garabon had overcome the creature through his strength and bravery, and from that day he carried a shield formed from the skull of the animal.

But one day while Garabon was out hunting, the village was attacked by a pack of ferocious devanu, and he returned to find the settlement destroyed. In dismay, he made his way to the centre of the village to find his own dwelling empty, and his wives and children nowhere to be found.

Believing his whole family to be dead, Garabon took up his shield and made a vow to avenge them. In a great rage, he set out at once on the trail of the devanu.

That night Garabon made his camp in a cave on a hillside, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep. He awoke suddenly many hours later, unable to say what had startled him, but aware of a presence before him. The moon shone brightly through the entrance of the cave, and, outlined by its silvery light he saw a figure before him. She moved gracefully towards him and he knew at once that it was his wife Enädu?. She spoke to him and told him that she and the children were safe, but that his wife Mropa was in great danger. She had been taken alive by the devanu, who would eventually kill and eat her, but if he hurried he could still save her.

Enädu gave to him a mace and bolas to wield against his enemies, and Garabon could see that they glowed with the power of Enar. Though dawn was still far off, he wasted no more time, but set out at once.

When Garabon reached the lair of the devanu pack, he set about him with great rage and slaughtered them without mercy. Then he freed the villagers who had not yet been killed, coming at last to his wife Mropa. He saw at once her bravery, for although she had been in great peril, she had thought only of the fate of her people; while the devanu had massacred them for food, she had collected the bones of the dead and kept them safe with her. Garabon helped her to light a sacred fire where she could burn the remains, and the dead rose with the smoke of the fire into the sky where they might join the stars.

When the ritual was complete, Garabon took the skins of the devanu and fashioned himself a cloak. Then he returned to his village with his people, and they rebuilt their dwellings and celebrated for a night and a day, for they knew that they would always be safe from the devanu while Garabon lived among them.

Not long after, Mropa bore another child to Garabon, who was named Erak. When Garabon died and was taken up to Enar, Oran took up his shield and Erak his mace, and between them they continued to protect their people as their father had done.
