Taryn Arkor, whose veins ran with the blood of Arkor Godslayer, had contrived to gain possession of his ancestorÆs fabled sword. Wielding it, he took upon the aspect of Arkor, and became invincible.
Taryn waded through the blood of his enemies, slaying the God-Empress Koreth IV, and declaring himself Theocrat of the Heretic Kingdoms. All were forced to bow down to him - to worship him as their new living god.
Upon learning that Garulian forces had sacked the ancestral city of his people, Arken, the Theocrat began his campaign of genocide against the Garulian people.
