The Sanctified Chronicle of Keznanoch Champion of the Mother

(As set down by the faithful scribes of the Rebuilt Temple at King’s End)
“Life is the breath of the Mother. Death is the closing of Her eyes. Woe to the hand that forces them open again.” - Keznanoch
 

On His Birth

In the days of shadow and dwindling faith, when the Church of Ela Ugbo lay broken and her altars cold, there was born one of both flame and storm. Keznanoch, son of a fire giant father and a storm giant mother shaped by the elements and tempered by grief.
 

On His Wounding

The lich’s hand struck twice, once to still his father’s heart, and again to lay a curse upon the son. Thus Keznanoch was made smaller in stature than his kin, yet heavier in burden than any mortal should bear. His skin bore the red of the forge, his eyes the blue of a distant tempest, and when his spirit swelled with grief mixed with wrath, the Mother whispered comfort and duty in their mind.
 

On His Vow

In the bitter hours of mourning, he heard the call of Ela Ugbo, the Mother of Life and Death. Kneeling at Her unseen altar, he swore to guard the passage between Her realms, to guide the dying as a mother soothes her child, and to strike down those who would profane Her gift by raising the dead from their sacred rest.
 

On His Works

The Defense of King’s End: In our darkest hour while much of the army lain fallen on the ground Keznanoch charged forth bringing those clinging to life a second breath and those who breathed their last a way forward unto eternity.
  The Hall of Rest in King’s End: Founded by his hand, this place shelters both the living in their pain and the dead in their stillness. Here the faithful tend the wounded with compassion, and wrap the dead in honor before their journey to the Mother’s embrace.
  The Hand of Mercy: It is told that with a single touch, the Champion may end a life, not in cruelty, but in love, lifting the suffering into peace.
  The Hand of Judgment: Yet in righteous fury, that same touch may still the unworthy heart, freeze the wicked where they stand, and return them to the silence they defied.
 

On His Trial

Many say the Champion’s path is barred most by his own mortal limits. Yet he labors unceasingly, honing strength and gathering allies, until the day when every necromancer’s shadow shall be driven from the lands, and the priesthood of Ela Ugbo shall stand unbroken once more.
 

On His Legacy

Let it be written that Keznanoch was no madman of grief, but a steadfast sentinel, whose love for life was as fierce as his hatred for its corruption. In the ages to come, may his name be spoken as that of the Mother’s own shield, gentle in mercy, terrible in wrath, until the day She calls him into Her eternal keeping.
 

Alignment

(Lawful good) Keznanoch did his utmost to follow the laws of the land that he was in however if a law contradicted those of his faith he would ignore the laws of mortals and follow the laws of his duty given.

Rebuilding the Church of Ela Ugbo, establishing the Hospital in Kings End

Physical Traits:

From what we have seen from Keznanoch he has quite the Slim stature. Some have used the term Femboy or Twink to describe this titan of faith and it is also known that he hates his appearance. Moving on, Kez stands about 9ft tall which is at the lowest of giant height. Kez looks like a standard fire giant for the most part but there are a couple things that hint toward their storm giant heritage. Their hair is bluish grey at the roots before turning a fiery red and during times of intense emotion he has an air of static electricity around him and lightning cracks from his eyes.
