Ahriman is a deity in the Zurvanite religion of ancient Eura, and is one of the co-equal servitors of Zurvan, the supreme god in the Zurvanite pantheon. Ahriman is often referred to as the "god of darkness" or the "prince of darkness," and is the embodiment of evil, chaos, and destruction.

In Zurvanite mythology, Ahriman is the eternal adversary of Ahura Mazda, the other co-equal servitor of Zurvan who represents good, order, and truth. The two gods are locked in a cosmic struggle for dominance, with Ahriman seeking to undermine and destroy the creation of Ahura Mazda.

Despite his malevolent nature, however, Ahriman is not simply a one-dimensional villain. In Zurvanite beliefs, he is seen as a necessary force that helps to give form and meaning to the cosmos. Without the opposition of Ahriman, the world would be a dull and monotonous place, lacking the tension and conflict that give rise to growth and change.

In terms of worship, Ahriman is not venerated in the same way as other deities in the Zurvanite pantheon. He is not the object of prayers or offerings, and is not considered to be a source of blessings or power. Instead, he is recognized as a necessary part of the cosmic order, and is acknowledged and respected as such.
