Deep in the upper slopes of Oriziba, there stood a temple of ancient origin. It was filled to the brim with gold and precious gems, and stories of its wealth and beauty had spread far and wide across Zagreus. Legend has it that the temple was built by the first of the Elders of the Pyronic faction, as an offering to Ezrus in exchange for his blessings of power and wisdom.

However, the creatures of Zagreus soon heard of the temple’s riches, and sought to claim it for themselves. One of the first to do so was Kleptos, the many-handed. He and his minions infiltrated the temple and stole as much gold as they could carry.

But Ezrus was not pleased with Kleptos’ actions. He cursed him to be the guardian of the temple, forever doomed to protect the treasure he had tried to steal. And so Kleptos was transformed, his body becoming covered in thick ash like skin, his hands growing razor-sharp claws, multiple arms growing out of him. He was given the ability to regenerate, and his eyes went black with an otherworldly ability to see in the dark..

For centuries, Kleptos guarded the temple with fierce dedication. He killed any who dared to enter, using his weapon mastery and his razor-sharp claws to overcome any obstacle in his path. As time passed, the stories of the temple and the cursed guardian who protected it grew ever more fantastical. Many brave adventurers attempted to claim the treasure for themselves, but all met their end at the hands of Kleptos.

And so the temple remained hidden, a dark and mysterious place that only the bravest of souls would dare to approach. Some say that the gold and gems still lie within its walls, waiting for the day when a hero will arise to defeat Kleptos and claim the treasure for themselves.

Ixpuztec was not always the lord of death. Long ago, he was a humble sorcerer who sought knowledge and power. But as he delved deeper into the corruption of ki, he became tainted by the very forces he sought to control.

In exchange for his soul, they granted him immense power and made him the ruler of the dead.

Ixpuztec’s thirst for power knew no bounds, and he began to build his dark empire in the Rocky Valleys of Zagreus.

His skin is stronger than any army plating, imbued with the defensive power of Ki that he draws from the very air itself. Although he doesn’t have wings, he is more akin to an air elemental than to his cousins in the Voltaic or Dasos faction; and he can ride the air currents, despite his seeming bulk. He guards the peaks of the Mountains of Cloud at the behest of the gods, for these mountains also contain a secret that must be guarded at all costs…

Kolchikos is a creature of mystery and power, feared and respected by all who know of him. His very presence is enough to inspire awe and terror, and his gaze can strike fear into the hearts of even the bravest warriors. He is said to be immortal, and to have lived for centuries, guarding the peaks of the Mountains of Cloud with unwavering vigilance. There are those who claim that he possesses the power to control the very elements themselves, and that he can summon storms and tornadoes with a mere thought.

Despite his immense power, Kolchikos is not without his own weaknesses. His strength lies in his control of the air, and he is vulnerable to attacks that disrupt his connection to Ki. Those who seek to defeat him must be cunning and resourceful, using whatever means they have at their disposal to disrupt his concentration and weaken his defenses. Even then, victory is far from assured, as Kolchikos is a wily and dangerous foe, capable of surprising even the most experienced of warriors. For those who seek to uncover the secrets of the Mountains of Cloud, the road ahead is long and perilous, and the price of failure may be paid in blood.
