The Wheel’s spokes are said to be woven into the very foundations of the world. They are the far-reaching polytheism of the Disc and the remnants of the Great Ring. Though their worship seems to originate among the Ashfolk, each deity among the Wheel is worshiped in myriad ways.

B'aara
The first spoke is the font of life and the patron of the line of Marib. She is the beginning of the Wheel and the rejuvenation of it as it turns. The B’aarat can be found among beggars and at court. It is an institution of vast wealth, but also of great charities. Her temples of water are ubiquitous across the Sultanate, some extravagant and others humble. The satrapies of the Sultan often appear about wellsprings, around which such temples are built, and sometimes serve as offices for their governors or Emirs. While many cultures upon the Great Disc outside the Sultanate may worship any spoke of the Wheel, most common are the cults of an analogue to B’aara.
