Queen Akasch, the Nakisians, and Helkam

The Nakisians came by the will of Queen Akasch, remained in a deep sleep, and are beginning to wake. Helkam, King of Hinon, appears defeated and bound with sealstones of Akasch. No post joins the two stories.

The Nakisians and Queen Akasch

Summoned across the dimensions by the will of Queen Akasch, the Nakisians arrived and found this world hungry for Rancor, the very essence of their power. Unable to use the powers they once commanded, they were forced into a deep sleep.

Now, the post says, the Rancor stirs again: slowly, and without doubt. With it, the Nakisians begin to wake. They are moved by a hunger for Rancor that the text calls insatiable, and it says they will stop at nothing. Even the Cult of Eternity, once their devotees, seems to them little more than vessels to be emptied.

GAP: here Akasch receives the title Queen; post 26, in the Cult of Eternity chapter, calls Akasch god. They are not reconciled.

GAP: prior lore about Akasch would be needed; this post does not explain who Queen Akasch is, and it calls the Rancor the essence of her power without saying what that is.

GAP: the post calls the Cult of Eternity a former devotee of the Nakisians and does not explain what relationship that has with the veneration of Akasch.

The image in the post carries an editor grid. A figure with a bare skull is visible, with light lines on the face, looking upward, and above it an enormous mouth with fangs. The text does not say whom each form corresponds to.

Helkam, King of Hinon

Helkam, King of Hinon, was defeated in a war. The fallen king was bound with sealstones of Akasch and shut inside a cave on the coast. “Now that cave is his throne,” according to @ArcheAgeChron. From there he calls his own and seeks to restore the glory he lost.

He waits for whoever can break the seals and reach him, and he hungers for the flesh of whoever has that strength. The post does not say who it will be, nor which war defeated him, nor what his people are called.

GAP: the post does not cite the Nakisians; it is in this chapter because of the sealstones of Akasch, as the index marks, and the relationship between the two is not written.

GAP: the sealstones of Akasch call for the same prior lore; the post does not say what they are or who set them, beyond the fact that they bind Helkam.

The text does not describe Helkam's appearance. The image that accompanies him, with remnants of an interface, shows two views of a hooded figure: a tunic in tatters, spiked pauldrons, and a large blade held in the hands.

GAP: the war in which Helkam fell, the identity of his own, and who can break the seals are left open.

The posts do not join the Nakisians with Helkam. Some are beginning to wake with the Rancor. The other waits in the cave.
