Karana

Karana, The Rain Keeper, is a fictional deity in the EverQuest universe. He is the god of weather and storms. Karana is allied with Tunare and Mithaniel Marr. Bertoxxulous is his enemy. Followers of Karana believe in the absolute power of storms. They worship the life-giving power of the rain and respect the destructive force of a sandstorm or hurricane. Typical followers of Karana are rural humanoids - farmers, ranchers, hunters, and the like. They will often offer trangers shelter from the elements. Many of Karana's followers live a nomadic lifestyle, travelling where the winds take them. They are humble, generous people who value strength and honesty and brook no disrespect of Karana or of his work for they know it is only through his wisdom and kindness that all of Norrath is not consumed in an eternal tempest. Currently, Karana resides in the Bastion of Thunder and is under constant attack from Agnarr the Storm Lord - An event in which players can "rescue" Karana. Karana's debut in EverQuest was in The Planes of Power expansion.

Karana is also the name of the main character in the book titled Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
