Ethos
The only universal constant is change. Those who embrace this truth revere Muralakrum, an enigmatic immortal devoted to the essence of transformation. On the rare occasion that Muralakrum chooses to assume a recognizable form, he appears as a heavily robed figure wearing a featureless mask.
History/Relationships
Few immortals in Orn were so shrouded in mystery as Muralakrum. Previously thought to be an Ascendant, it is now believed he was an Aspect of change. Those who revere him claimed that Muralakrum wandered Orn, adopting one form after the next on some errand that could only be understood by the mad. The only reliable account of his interaction in mortal affairs is as a great drake during the Age of Ascension, when it is said that he did battle with Githal prior to his ascendancy.
As an almost unknowable entity, Muralakrum had few alliances with the other immortals of Orn. He owed allegiance to Drakerim as one of the Forsynteril, but had no apparent connection with Banekeril or Secronus. Despite his legendary conflict with Githal, the two immortals bore no particular avarice for one another.
When Ressik led the armies of Sardia to attempt to destroy all magick, Muralakrum walked into the capital itself to confront the Sardian forces. While Ressik thought Muralakrum destroyed during their ensuing battle through the Astral, Muralakrum appeared again in the guise of Thareon. His sacrifice allowed the true Thareon and the pre-ascendant Treys to defeat Ressik and restore magick to Orn.
Dogma
Being is changing; that which does not change ceases to be. Embrace transformation as the greatest truth of existence and cast aside the gross distinctions of form. Do not shackle yourself to a stationary or static way of life. Seek out the infinite variety of the world. Only when you cease to be as you are will you truly transform.
Followers and Temples
The mystery cult of Muralakrum is a loosely organized association of vagrants who wander Orn in various guises, each seeking transformation in their own way. Some assume multiple identities or trades, while more powerful followers practice transformational magics. No doctrine, title, or form of reverence unites the followers of Muralakrum, although it is said that each recognizes and respects his fellows no matter their form.
Similarly, temples of Muralakrum share no distinct form. Most are mobile or temporary and may be housed in such places as wagons, tents, or ships. Services performed at these shrines vary widely between individual followers or even individual observations. Such is the nature of Muralakrum, and it is whispered that any manner of consistent, organized reverence in his name draws down the ire of his many nameless followers.
