As she had learned from Braids earlier, The Patriarch had intended to use Phage as a vessel to conceive his god Kuberr in human form. However, Akroma was not fooled by her ruse. One of these refugees was her hated nemesis Phage, who to all appearances had denounced the Cabal. Led by Zagorka, the Sanctum had been receiving numerous citizens over the past months. They'd begun to inhabit it, naming it " Sanctum". Apparently, some of the survivors of the Nightmare War had found a city in central Otaria. Weeks later, she received a very interesting message. Though she was pleased with the developments in Locus, Akroma still bore her rage against the Cabal and Phage. Thousands joined her side through her promises of hope and honor. Using her angelic and heavenly appearance, she turned the natives of the surrounding plains to her cause. ![]() Left without a leader, Akroma assumed the responsibilities of spreading Ixidor's message, effectively founding a religion around him. To prevent the wurms from destroying the very fabric of the world, Jeska absorbed all the darkness back into her, all but the one that had taken Ixidor. The last deathwurm, the soul of Nivea, sought out Ixidor, swallowed him, and escaped as Akroma watched helplessly. When every wurm had left, she became Jeska once again. All at once, the tides of battle turned as every being that Phage had ever killed was reincarnated as deathwurms which burst forth from Phage's body. That is, at least until they encountered Phage. The battle ripped the lands apart but Akroma's forces appeared to be winning. Ixidor began to create as many beings as possible, and Akroma led them into battle against the combined forces. She became, in effect, a centaur-angel and was filled with a new strength, as well as certain other feline tendencies.Īs she became accustomed to her new form, Ixidor told her that war would be inevitable, and true to his prediction, a dual force of the Cabal and the Krosan forest was marching upon Ixidor's lands. Ixidor imagined Akroma full and healthy, and as he opened his eyes, Akroma's legs were replaced by those of the jaguar. Ixidor found the perfect answer and used his powers to dream a jaguar into existence which he killed immediately. However, they would first need a being to serve as her new legs. Ixidor forgave her for what she saw as her failure and decided to not only heal her but to enhance her. Unfortunately, Kamahl interfered, and Akroma had to flee, grievously wounded, and maimed as her legs fell victim to Phage's touch.Īkroma returned to Ixidor, weeping in immense pain. The bright cheers of the crowds fell silent as Akroma alighted in the sands of the arena, and Phage at once received a taste of her own medicine, as Akroma's touch acted as anathema to her. Akroma was left with no choice but to kill Phage with her own hands. ![]() Apparently, Kamahl would neither hurt nor kill his fallen sister in the hopes that she would see the error of her ways and return to her old self. ![]() As the fight raged on, Akroma knew that her hopes of Phage dying in combat were coming to an end. In the arena itself, the pit fights were taking place with a spectacular match between Phage and her brother, the barbarian Kamahl. Almost immediately, Akroma made her way to Aphetto, where celebrations were taking place for the recent completion of the Grand Coliseum. Ixidor gave her but one objective, to avenge Nivea, no matter the cost. She was crafted in his dream and made of his flesh. So strong was his heartache, that when his shaping abilities manifested, they took the form of Akroma at the cost of Ixidor's right arm. After Ixidor had been abandoned in the desert because of his extreme gambling debts to the Cabal, he wallowed in his grief over his lost love.
