Vakhtang the Pious

Prince Vakhtang the Pious was a Perfect Prince who was killed while on a mission to Kamens around .
== History ==
More than 200 years prior to the Aeldrum Trade Company's expedition to Kamens in , Prince Vakhtang ruled an empire in the same territory later held by Prince Sigvald the Cruel, earning it by leveraging the secrets gained from complete devotion and worship of Othal, the Lord of Secrets. One day, though, Othal asked Vakhtang to pay a greater price, ordering him to send his military to an unknown part of space to destroy the Trapdoor Spider God of Kamens. They were not heard from again, and Leth the Conniving, Sigvald’s predecessor, swooped in on the undefended territory.
Othal felt that the spider’s ability to mask and stop knowledge from being perceived was tied to the strange eldritch questions that Othal puzzled over eternally, and wanted to harvest the power to decipher them from the spider god’s world, wherever it was (and to kill the spider god, so that no one else could make unsolvable questions.) Othal had sent Vakhtang to do this, but Vakhtang failed; Vakhtang’s general, Evriksen, was possessed by the spider god once their raiding party reached Kamens. Evriksen and his officers assassinated Vakhtang and forced-marched much of Vakhtang's military across the planet to sacrifice them. In exchange, the spider god made Evriksen the closest to an angel that it had. This all led Othal to continue to protect the surviving Vakhtangians on Kamens in the hopes that they would one day complete Vakhtang’s objective. The Vakhtangians remained living on Kamens in some number for over 200 years, until the arrival of the ATC expedition.
