 '''Sarnath''' is an ancient city that was destroyed long ago. Sarnath was built on a nameless lake near [[Ib]]. In its time it was famed as the most splendid in [[Mnar]] a region of the [[Dreamlands]].
-Sarnath was founded when dark skinned explorers ventured out past the Ai River and came to a quiet lake "fed by no stream and out of which no stream flows." The men of Mnar built Sarnath not far from Ib, hating the beings of Ib they marched on the city and destroyed it. Sarnath was by far the richest of the cities of Mnar, and traded precious metals and gems with Thraa, Ilarnek and Kadatheron. Ilarnek is the closest city to Sarnath.

 Zo-Kalar and Tamash and Lobon are the chief gods of Sarnath, though many gods, large and small were worshipped there. Seventeen of these were worshipped in the huge towered temples while many of the smaller gods were worshipped in shrines in the gardens. The chief gods had huge altars and gold thrones were incense was burned. The gods were considered so close to life that many thought they actually sat in their thrones. They are depicted as bearded and graceful.
-Many of the religious rites enacted by the high priests reflect the hatred of the [[Great Old Ones (Dieties)|Great Old One]] [[Bokrug]]. Bokrug was once worshipped in nearby Ib which the armies of Sarnath destroyed. At the time a carved green stone image of Bokrug was taken into Sarnath as a trophy and left on a crystallite altar. The same night the statue disappeared. Taran-Ish the first head priest was found dead of terror having carved the symbol of DOOM on the altar.

 Once a year the people of Sarnath celebrate the destruction of Ib a neighboring city once populated by flabby green creatures. Great orgies were had with much food and wine. The kings of Mnar looked out over the lake and cursed the bones of the deab people of Ib while paying honor to the shades of those who slay them. At first the priests of Sarnath looked down on the celebrations worried by the stories of Taran-Ish and the occasional lights seen in the lake.
