Aûdrat Vâtra

The Vâtrans originally had been a minor sect of Far-Harad, a remnant of the religion of the older gods which still revered the sun-god Vâtra.However the small group had long been infiltrated by Sauron's Dark Worship and slowly gained power and influence in secret.In TA 2000 however the Vatrans believed their time had come and in a long prepared violent uprising took over the power in Bôzisha-Mîraz.In the End Sauron now openly was revered as the Vâtra returned and the old moon-worship   of the Ladnócans was outlawed.

This had of course been just one step in Sauron's greater plan to reform his ancient empire and his identity of "Vâtra" was just one of many guises, in Near-Harad he had used the cult of Khäz-gramaze as his cover and in the Sîrayn he eventually had used the Tayb-sect.In the end however he was not much interested in small local reverence which he saw only as tools of current use.The dominant state-religion of his realm was the Cult of the Eye to which all older religions had to submit, even if they had been variants of the older dark worship themselves.
