Editing Ksarul (section)

==Aspects of Ksarul==

===Uthi'in, Spirit of the Mind's Eye===
:Uthi'in is patron of psychic magic and scryer of secrets. His talismans help with perception spells, and he requires the sacrifice of hallucinogenic incense. Uthi'in is depicted as a great deep blue eye.

===Mentutékka, Lord of Blue Shadow===
:Mentutekka is lord of the deep forest night, friend of hunters and of burrowing animals. His talismans bring luck in hunting and sneaking up on game.

===Kettek, Prophet of the Dark Old One===
:The Dark Old One is the [[Pe Choi]] god of change. He was rediscovered some 1300 years ago by the Pe Choi Ksarul priest Kettek who was led in his explorations and visions of the past and of the outer planes by Ksarul himself. Kettek is depicted as an elderly male Pe Choi with a deformed carapace.

:Kettek lived during the reign of Nriqa Gachike (984-1010). At the time conflict between Thumis and Ksarul was intense and spilled over into civil war soon after his reign; Kettek was a civil servant in the Palace of the priesthoods and was reviled as he had been a Thumis priest before he converted to Ksarul and began his researches on other planes. In 991 he announced the discovery of The Black Old One, an ancient deity of the Pe Choi whose worship had been suppressed. Kettek was physically distorted by his work - those hostile to him say he was not Kettek at all after his trip, but a demonic impersonator. 

:During the civil war of 1010-26, Pe Choi converts to the Dark Old One opposed forces loyal to the Ito when they gained control of Do Chaka, while those loyal to the Father of Nests aided the Ito but later betrayed them, only the Ito's old wild Pe Choi allies who worshipped their own form of Sarku remained loyal. War between these Pe Choi groups was especially bitter and savage. There was even conflict within the dark Trinity; at first Ksarul claimed The Dark Old One was an avatar of their deity, but he was eventually recognised as Hru'u. Some Pe Choi refused to accept this subordination and there were riots in Butrus over the issue. Kettek is still a divisive figure, and his theological status is a matter of debate.

===Guruash of the Nine Eyes===
:A demonic servant of Ksarul rather than a true aspect, Guruash has nine eyes arranged at equal distances around his head and keep watch against other demons. Invoked whenever supernatural attack is expected and to dispel unwanted other planar influences. 

===Ey'un, Knower of Skills=== 
:A very popular aspect of Ksarul among the laity. Ey'un taught men the many crafts and arts that improve life; masonry, glassmaking, alchemy etc. and told those most faithful to him the inner secrets of these crafts that mark a man out as a master craftsman.

===Ghulggr, Wise One of the Pachi Lei===
:Considered an aspect of both A'lsh and Ksarul, the Pachi Lei say Ghulggr 'reads the knots in the Ebzal tree of reality' and liken the planes Ghulggr travels to as being homes created in the great Ebzal tree of the multiverse by A'lsh and their other deity N'rg. Depicted as a typical Pachi Lei totem in their own 'Low Temples' and as a silver masked Pachi Lei bearing four wands pointing at the four mystical directions of the universe in Ksarul temples.
