A Glorious Discernment

Long ago, in an age past, not long after the beginning of creation itself, there were the original men; Malin, Urguan, Horen, and Krug. Each was his own, but each were brothers. They were set upon one another and divided by the daemonic Iblees, and each bore a curse from the evil being.

 

Krug, strongest, toughest of his kin, saw through the lies and deception of Iblees. For this the brothers renounced their partnership with the Daemon and were cursed each. Krug's curse was to forever lust after the spilled blood of his kin, and to be horrendously ugly, that his children would inherit these traits. But not all was lost. A wizard of great talent granted each brother a blessing. Krug was blessed to be the most honorable warrior in all of creation, that his kind would follow in his example to be great.

 

Many of us revere Krug as an ancestral spirit dwelling in the highest reachest of Stargush'Stroth, though some choose to deny his ascension. What cannot be denied is that once, Krug was a man, like Malin, Horen, and Urguan each. Through the generations of uruk-kind, the blood of Krug has been diluted and branched into distinct families- but it is still traceable. After many years of independant and joint research among the more scholarly of our kind involving ancient archaeological discoveries, shamanic visions induced by deep cactus flower highs, and other, more personal and private means, we have at last determined what our ancient and beloved ancestor must have looked like before and after the clash with Iblees changed him. These are perhaps the most evocative and powerful depiction of our beloved ancestor by any artistic hands in centuries. May I present... the great and mighty Krug.

And before his fall, as depicted, Krug looked little different to a dark-skinned human.

Ramohk wept not for the first time at the beauty he viewed with his eye. If only he had not lost his other eye so both could be blessed with seeing his and his bruddah and ziztah's ancestor, the one and only Krug. He was happy that he took part in helping Gwybb with this and he felt reborn when he saw the final result. At peace with himself and at touch with all things of his culture, he decided to stray towards honour further than before. An epiphany it was for him and definitely for the other honorable descendants. Nagijak Urukim!
