High Priest of Yelmalio in Pavis. Karial is completely otherworldly, solely dedicating himself to his devotion to Yelmalio and his worship. He doesn't even take up the seat on the Pavis City Council that is his by right. He seems to regard anything to do with real life or politics as being beneath him to acknowledge. It is a common joke that he hasn't even noticed that the city has fallen to the Lunars. Like many devout Yelmalians, he refuses to speak anything other than Firespeech, and minimises any contact that he has with non-Yelmalians, to avoid impurity.
