Al'Mudin, a mysterious prophet from some far-off and unknown land, began suddenly to preach in Nordradania. He preached in opposition to the official gods of the Reymal Empire, teaching instead the doctrines of a new deity: KOL. This repudiation of other gods, particularly the Emperor and his family, lead to his eventual martyrdom and would instigate the Rebellion of Twelve Kings.
