It is said that until the God of the Land was killed by its blade, the Godslayer was but an ordinary sword. Its wielder, a hero named Arkor whose motives are lost to history, died at the very moment the God died û and at that point the Godslayer was born.
Simultaneously, the great power of the God dissipated. Some say that this power was infused into every aspect of the world, and remains there to this day. Their proof is the Macula û the mark of the Dead God, which began to appear upon the skin of newborn children soon after the GodÆs death. That the Scarred can wield magic is fact - but can this magical power be the very essence of the Dead God?
