Question: What area of the world was K'ak'upakal from?
Context: N.K.S.T stands for the "Nongu u Kristu u i Ser u sha Tar," translated "Universal Reformed Christian Church," a Christian Reformed church based in Nigeria.  NKST envisions, by the grace of God, to be a multiethnic Christian community drawn from all nations and cultures of the world and united in the doctrine of Jesus Christ and purpose so as to offer holistic service with available resources to reach the unreached.  NKST exists to glorify God through worship and proclamation of the Good News of Salvation to all humanity, and observation of the sacraments as instituted by Jesus Christ, to strengthen the communion of the Saints, to responsibly teach believers and instill self-discipline.  The church has its headquarters at Mkar-Gboko in Benue state but has spread all over Nigeria, and even beyond.  The members are predominantly the Tiv speaking tribe but other tribes in Nigeria belong to this church.  It was first introduced in Sai on 17 April 1911 a village in Katsina Ala local government area of Benue state, Nigeria.  Although its headquarters is now at Mkar, Gboko, the local government is in Benue State.  The church is the fruit of missionary work undertaken by the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa.  Work began in 1911 among the Tiv people in then Gongola and Benue Province.  The beginnings were slow — only 25 baptized Christians in 25 years.  In 1960, due to the apartheid system, the South African missionaries were no longer tolerated in Nigeria and had to leave.  In their place the SUM–Christian Reformed Reformed Church of North America, a branch related to NKST, gave it strong support until about 1985.  In 1957 the church was formally organized as an autonomous, self-supporting, and self-propagating church with first four indigenous (Nigerian) pastors.  A full translation of the Bible into Tiv was completed and dedicated on 4 November 1964.  The church also has a synod that meets twice in a year.  The Church has seven institutions of higher learning: 1.  The Reformed Theological Seminary Mkar, 2.  Reformed Bible College Harga, 3.  School of Nursing Mkar, 4.  College of Health Technology Mkar 5.  School of Medical Laboratory Sciences Mkar, 6.  School of Midwifery Mkar, 7.  and more recently a university, The University of Mkar .  The pioneer Vice Chancellor was a renowned academic, Professor (Mrs) Nancy Ngunan Agbe.  Until her appointment, she was a professor at Benue State University, Makurdi.  The current Vice Chancellor is Prof. Emmanuel Hemen Agba, Professor of Physics also coming from Benue State University.

K'ak'upakal, or possibly K'ak'upakal K'awiil (fl.  c. 869–890) was a ruler or high-ranking officeholder at the pre-Columbian Maya site of Chichen Itza, during the latter half of the 9th century CE.  The name of this ruler, alternatively written K'ahk'upakal, K'ak' Upakal or K'ak'-u-pakal, is the most widely mentioned personal name in the surviving Maya inscriptions at Chichen Itza, and also appears on monumental inscriptions at other Yucatán Peninsula sites such as Uxmal.  This 9th-century personage may also be the same individual with this name mentioned in some later ethnohistorical sources, such as the books of Chilam Balam. Comox is a town of 13,000 people located on the southern coast of the Comox Peninsula in the Georgia Strait on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  The warm dry summers, mild winters, fertile soil and abundant sea life attracted First Nations thousands of years ago, who called the area "kw’umuxws" (Kwak'wala, the adopted language of the K'omoks, for "plentiful").  When the area was opened for settlement in the mid-19th century, it quickly attracted farmers, a lumber industry and a fishing industry.  For over fifty years, the village remained isolated from the outside world other than by ship until roads and a railway were built into the area during the First World War.  The installation of an air force base near the village during the Second World War brought new prosperity to the area, and in recent years, Comox has become a popular tourist attraction due to its good fishing, local wildlife, year-round golf and proximity to the Mount Washington ski area, the Forbidden Plateau, and Strathcona Provincial Park.  The town is also home to a Royal Canadian Air Force base CFB Comox, an airport for both military and commercial airline use and the HMCS "Quadra" Sea Cadet training facility.  The mild climate has attracted many retirees to the area in the 21st century, resulting in a high rate of growth and a sharp increase in the median age of residents. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a first-person shooter survival horror video game developed by GSC Game World and published by THQ.  The game is set in an alternative reality, where a second nuclear disaster occurs at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone in the near future and causes strange changes in the area around it.  The game has a non-linear storyline and features gameplay elements such as trading and two-way communication with NPCs.  The game includes role-playing and first person shooter elements.  In "S.T.A.L.K.E.R", the player assumes the identity of an amnesiac "Stalker", an illegal explorer/artifact scavenger in "The Zone", dubbed "The Marked One".  "The Zone" is the location of an alternate reality version of the Zone of alienation surrounding the Chernobyl Power Plant after a second fictitious meltdown, which further contaminated the surrounding area with radiation, and caused strange otherworldly changes in local fauna, flora, and the laws of physics.  "Stalker" in the context of the video game refers to the older meaning of the word as a tracker and hunter of game or guide. The fictional universe of British author J. K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series of fantasy novels comprises two distinct societies: the Wizarding World and the Muggle world.  The Muggle world is the series' name for the world inhabited by the non-magical majority, with which the Wizarding World exists coextensively, albeit mostly remaining hidden from the non-magical humans.  The plot of the series is set in 1990s Britain, but in a veiled and separate shadow society wherein magic is commonly used and practiced, and those who can use it live in self-enforced seclusion, hiding their abilities from the rest of the world.  The term "Wizarding World" refers to the global wizard community that lives hidden in parallel with the Muggle world; the different terms refer to different communities within the same area rather than separate planets or worlds.  Any new works taking place in this universe are released under the "J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World" brand. James K.
