Body of K'etz

Cast from our homeland long ago, I wish to meet the ones who hold the other pieces to my ancestor, they must've been close to him, like you and I. One day, one day.

- Rodina, after talking to another owner of a K'etz body part, Jimbo

K'etz, the War Priest of Old Tortvain City , was killed by Anatole along the coast of a long gone island. His corpse was taken by members of the Apostles of the Fell Flame to be cut up into pieces. However, the fates of the cosmos would hinder the organisation, and the children of K'etz would intercept those who held his body. He was saved by his children, yet still deceased.

K'etz would be taken to the South Pole of Aitso, his home. His corpse would be laid under the temple of an underground jungle, and his family would guard it. It'd come to an end however, once the Apostles found them. A large scale battle unfolded, which was littered with arcane curses, as well as weapons of torture from both sides. K'etz would find himself alone, only 2 of his half orc relatives left alive, the rest mercilessly slaughtered and quartered. Even in his dead state, they would not show mercy to his corpse. He would be defiled, turned into small body parts imbued with magic.

Folklore

According to a few across the lands, there may be a way to bring back this lost hero. In order to finally put a stop to the Apostles of the Fell Flame , K'etz may have to be put back together, and reformed using the body of a willing victim. With this sacrifice, he is said to return with the Sun-Chosen Greataxe, to be bestowed upon him by Ílios, Avatar of Sol .
