Title: The An-Kal-Lem

Author: King Zhelkas

It is known from the Kodex An-Kal-Lem:

"Bal-gar om-jux-le ter-ort. Bal-gar kal-le bal-lem esh bal-drak. Bal-gar in-le an-kal-lem. An-kal-lem gres-por-le trak an-ben-tas Ignavus Hythlothe.

Zen-tu de An-kal-lem in-flam-le ve bal-lem. An-Kal-Lem an-ven-le tu-tim."

I write of the fate of my brother, one of the great gargoyle lords who turned from Singularity toward the Cult Ignavus Hythlothe.

He was never a strong fighter, but his magic was without peer. He crafted many great magical things, including the Altar of Three Points at the center of the Shrine of Singularity. It broke my heart the day he chose to challenge me to rule. I knew that I would defeat him, but I also knew he would never forgive me.

He didn't. He stormed into the Temple of Singularity and smashed the Altar of Three Points. He cast a terrible spell and summoned two demonic creatures. One was named UroBul, the Blood of Conflict. The other was a draconic creature named AtoDit, the Gnawing afterlife.

In the ruins, he cast aside his old name forever, taking a demonic name XabAlm, "he who burns love."

He went to war with Ter Mur and lost. He was cast down a great tunnel into Ignavus Hythlothe. Those he had made a pact with went with him, not as his allies, but as his jailers. AtoDit consumed my brother, giving him a new life as a wretched creature, and UroBul filled his veins with demonic blood, burning him and his fellows forever.

They are the An-Kal-Lem, the banished.
