Kenji on the Cult of Vlox
He knows of Synapsid because of his connection to Merkayne. Kenji can sense the power coming from Bedlam and Arygos. Warns that the Kingfishers want to harness the Order within Arygos and destroy the Chaos within Bedlam.
Thousands of years ago the Kingfisher faction was formed to help the Six kill dragons. Before they were Kings, the greatest, yet still expendable warriors of the human race were tasked by their overlords to hunt the awakened dragons with the help of the toolmaker Dhara. and the Kingfishers became very good at their job.
Mostly made up of elves, the Kingfishers knew the dragons represented pure chaos, when the gods felt the world needed to be put in check, Synapsid would rain down his large beasts to raze the world below.
A doctrine was put in place by the head of the Roost. The only way to find peace is through complete control. They agree with the methods of the overlord Onyx elves of old.
Civilization can only be saved if they are completely without free will.
The world is out of balance and that's why so many people are making power moves. Synapsid's absence is an important factor in the struggles of the world. The Kingfishers know they can capitalize on the absence of the god of order and chaos.
Incinerin spoke to the Synapse for years and planned his takeover awaiting the day for something to cause the dragons to awaken. When he believed the balance was about to be broken, he began planning to ambush this event to gain complete control. This is when he started recruiting just before the awakening and how he already knew to look for Kenji to learn how to corrupt the control of Synapsid.
Kenji's family descended from the followers of Vlox, the God of Debauchery and Corruption. Most of that cult was eradicated by the Merkaynian Enclave about 50 years before. Kenji's immediate family met their end at the hands of a northern faction of the Enclave not that long ago. The books and documents passed down through his family as well as the rituals he was taught when he was young was why Incinerin targeted him.
The Kingfishers forced him to show them the ritual to corrupt a God's message, and with enough will, the power to corrupt entirely to bend the deities to your own goals is possible. Most people who follow the cult can cause minor issues within a local church but someone as driven as Incinerin was able to use the power much more effectively.
The Kingfishers are using the corrupting symbol of Vlox to effectively manipulate the gods themselves to further their own means. Although anyone who comes to use Vlox's unique power to alter the intentions of other gods must reveal their plans to the sly demon God. Vlox only helps further the plans that will help himself
Incinerin used this knowledge to skew the purpose of Synapsid's symbol, seeking the ability of controlling the dragons. More than that, the Pit had become a vile place but the god of Order being manipulated caused the protections placed on the Pit by Merkayne and Synapsid to be weakened. This allowed Thormund's attack to fully destroy the Seal. Incinerin toying with Synapsid (potentially because of the influence of Vlox) is the reason the Harrowers are able to hunt anyone, not just people with the Merkaynian Brand.
Although Kenji does not follow his family ways, the Kingfishers were able to invade his home just before the breaking of the Seal and before the dragons reawoke. Incinerin threatened to kill the man's family if he didnt help. Kingfishers were posted there watching over Kenji until a few days before you arrived when Incinerin made the call to squash any loose ends. Kenji's wife was a caster and as soon as the Kingfishers turned and killed her children, she caused an explosion as Kenji was able to open the family safehouse that housed the history of the Cult of Vlox. He escaped down the chute dragging his family to not have them burn in the fire. His wife was killed after he opened the door by a crossbow.
Kenji is worried that using the symbol has caused Incinerin to not even know that he no longer serves his own purposes. He will fight to stop free will but he is being influenced by the subtle actions of Vlox.
When asked if the corruption can be undone, Kenji wasn't sure but knows there is an artifact in Clarion being quarantined in its resting place at a Church of Vlox. The Puzzle Cube of Vlox has many abilities affiliated with its creator. If anything could solve the corruption it would be that box. Unfortunately the church was eradicated and sent into hiding shortly after Boto and Remus Silverstaff traveled to Fogholt and cured the Fogholt Plague. Remus and the Seekers then took the church to build a Seeker stronghold around the resting place of this dangerous artifact.
