I was digging for some informations about NPCs in Jakundaf Desert.

I found there Adrenius, who is priest of Fafnar. He says this:

Adrenius: I'm a priest of Fafnar.
Player: Fafnar
Adrenius: Fafnar is the stronger one of the
two suns above our world.

Player: God
Adrenius:
Fafnar is the greatest among the gods.

About Fafnar we know this:

Daughter of Fire and Fardos, Fafnar is reckless and wild.

She burns the world with her flames, and after attacking Bastesh with her flaming claws, her brother Suon is trying to punish her.

Since Suon is stronger than her, she is fleeing from him for the all eternity.

We can find statues of Fafnar in different places in game, such as: Carlin, Temple of Light, Krailos Nightmare Ruins, Kilmaresh Catacombs.

In Krailos it says "Praise Fafnar, the radiant, the blazing, the true!".

We also have Fafnar Symbol.

But do we know who are Fafnars believers? We have priest, Adrenius. Do we know anything more about this religion? Other NPCs? Monsters?

"The Fafnar Cultists are humans from Kilmaresh that started to worship the god Fafnar as their only god and above Suon, even though the Kilmareshian believe both gods to be equal. This resulted in a civil war between the Fafnar followers and those who fought for the duality of the two sun gods. Ultimately, the war was ended by Suon himself."   Source: https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/Fafnar_Cultists

Fafnar, the Wild Sun -Fafnar is the wild and relentless daughter of Fardos and also called the Smiter or the Scorching Sun. Unlike her brother Suon, she observes creation with hate and jealousy. Her worship is forbidden in Kilmaresh since the downfall of the old empire as her followers once caused a religious civil war that led to the old empire's destruction. But the cult of Fafnar secretly survived and the cultists still plague the new empire. They cause plenty of trouble in Issavi and in all of Kilmaresh.

Source of a book in the Issavi Library regarding Fafnar: https://tibia.fandom.com/wiki/Fafnar_(Book)

The cult of Fafnar- Once, the inhabitants of Kilmaresh worshipped the two sun gods Suon and Fafnar and attached great importance to the fact that the worship of both deities was always in balance. However, there came a time when a group of Fafnar's adherers became more and more influential and aggressive until this sect postulated the sole worship of Fafnar. This resulted in a religious war between the Fafnar followers and those who fought for the duality of the two sun gods. Ultimately, the war was ended by a major natural disaster that split off the eastern peninsula from the western part of the land mass. It is believed that Suon had shattered the continent in his anger about the humans' misdeeds. From that day on, the old empire was in shambles and the worship of Fafnar is now forbidden in the new empire.

But the cult of Fafnar still exists on Kilmaresh, albeit in secret. Her followers go to great lengths to strengthen Fafnar's influence and try to re-establish her worship. To achieve their goals they are not above using either infiltration or violence. 

Burning Gladiator

The Burning Gladiators are a special part of the the Wild Sun's cult. They are fierce warriors who seek to enforce Fafnar's will with a vengeance. If necessary they also protect the Priestess of the Wild SunPriestess of the Wild Sun on their rather subtle missions. The Priestesses of the Wild Sun are a special branch of Fafnar's clerics. They serve the Smiter with great devotion but other than the Burning Gladiators they seek to restore Fafnar's worship by intrigues and scheming rather than brute force.

Here's what some NPCs say about Fafnar:

Adrenius"Adrenius: I'm a priest of Fafnar."

The Librarian.gif"The Librarian: Fafnar is a wild and relentless goddess, one of the two suns of our world. She's the daughter of Fardos and also called the Scorching Sun or the Smiter. It is said that unlike her brother Suon, she observes creation with hate and jealousy.

The Librarian: But her worshippers think she's the stronger one of the two suns, that Suon's light turns pale compared to her brightness. It should be mentioned that the worship of Fafnar is forbidden in Kilmaresh since the downfall of the old empire."

..I'm going to try to find other NPCs that worship Fafnar or have anything interesting to say and then I'll edit this. You can additionally read about Fafnar starting on page 3 of the Genesis:
