Daraman

Daraman é o herói do continente de Darama. Daraman viveu uma vida pacífica e não-material, e até hoje possui muitos seguidores. Uma vez ele se tornou amigo dos djinns que ficaram impressionados com ele. Enquanto os Marid o adoravam, os Efreet acusavam-no de causar uma guerra civil. É dito também que ele já foi rei de Darashia, Ankrahmun e Port Hope, ou seja: rei de todo o continente de Darama. O que ele tornou-se ninguém sabe, mas ao que tudo indica ele parece não ter morrido.

Daraman é mencionado em dois conjuntos de livros:

• The Chronicles of Daraman - todos os livros

Edowir: Daraman was a sage with ambition, that is for sure. His philosophy centered around the idea that by controlling yourself you could improve yourself. The closer you are coming to perfection,the closer you are to ascension to divinity.

Kasmir: Daraman travelled the world and learned the secrets of the ancients. At last he learned the secret of ascension and founded his philosophy.

Ishebad: Some lunatic who was driven mad by the heat of the desert and dehydration.

Malor: Of all human liars and schemers he was the worst. This self-styled prophet single-handedly managed to disunite my race and to spark a bloody civil war. ...
Malor: If somebody fulfilled a wish for me for a change I would bring him back to life and make him pay.

Fa'Hradin: I have met him myself. He was a sharp thinker and a charismatic conversationalist. ...
Fa'Hradin: I suppose he never managed to convince me quite as thoroughly as he managed to convince Gabel, but I came to admire his amazing personal integrity. ...
Fa'Hradin: In the end I chose to follow his creed because I felt that we djinn lacked something, and I thought that perhaps Daraman had an answer.

Melchior: Daraman was a holy man, a true prophet. He showed us how we can master grief and affliction through dignity and brotherliness. It is a shame I only came to fully appreciate his teachings when fate had cast me into darkness.
