Is Lokarnos worshipped in Teshnos?

Which RQ3 cults would Calyz and Furalor most resemble?

Lokarnos may be worshipped but only since the Celestial Empire and recognizably a foreign import.

Furalor and Calyz don't resemble any better known cults.

Furalor would teach Cremate Dead.  I'm not sure if Create Wildfire is appropriate because he's the purifying goddess of flame rather than the out-of-control wildfire.  She probably would teach a burning crown spell (Guide p428) which is either an arduous purification ritual or something you cast on enemies.  The Guide p431 mentions her fires at Chatal can clean the merchants of the pollution of dealing with the hsunchen so it's clear her flames can be nonlethal etc.

Calyz is a bit interesting in that he is not mentioned on the Zanozar bas-relief (Guide p428) - instead we get two incarnations of Somash.  He may be a culture hero who brought fire and kept people alive during the Great Darkness.  He could be a son of Solfindicating why people pay him attention whereas Solf is burned out and useless.  As well as the traditional three fires (cooking, smelting and sex), he also has some affinity with draining marshes to make rice paddies and some snake magic (which may be another form of his sex magic).

It is possible that Lokarnos is worshipped as a sibling of Tolat and Anilla - at least in Pamaltelan myth, the planet Lokarnos is one of the three Sky Witches, and that's what the Zaranistangi brought with them.

Furalor to me is the fire version of Ty Kora Tek, both in charge of cremation and of a keeper of souls.

Calyz is a mix of Lodril, Gustbran and whatever crafting and building magic you can scrape together (e.g. from Flintnail), plus a little bit of maybe Pamalt in his fertility aspect.
