Apsimar

Apsimar was the senior priest of Phos in Imbros when the "Ronams" arrived. He was a strong believer in Phos and distained the various heresies that had arisen over the centuries both within the Empire and surrounding nations. He viewed the Khatrish and Thatagush belief in the Balance of Phos with contempt since it made Skotos as acceptable as lord as Phos. Likewise the Duchy of Namdalen's belief in Phos' Wager was hypocrisy in religious garb.

Apsimar met with Marcus Scaurus, the leader of the Ronams, on Midwinter's Day to discuss these things with him and to caution him to not to fall into these misbeliefs. He also asked of the Ronams' beliefs and expressed distaste for the Olympian Gods Scaurus had described. However, he did approve of Scaurus' Stoicism school of philosophy comparing it favorably to the Halogai heathen beliefs which did lead to courage and justice, virtues in support of Phos.
