== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Most of Izcill's early life remains largely unknown. He was the youngest of three children, born to a skilled carpenter in the bustling trade town of Navano. As he entered his twenties, Izcill fulfilled his obligation to Karlia by serving a brief term in the military, as required by conscription laws. Shortly thereafter, he secretly joined a lodge of alchemists whose temple was hidden in the Deep Forest of Modir. At that time, alchemy was illegal and deeply frowned upon by the Karlian nobility and government.
Izcill rapidly began to master the art of alchemy, crafting unique spells that impressed even his mentor. Over the years, he honed his skills and grew eager to share this knowledge throughout Modir. However, the Elders of the Lodge opposed his ambitions, even considering expelling him from their ranks. By the age of 33, Izcill started receiving visions from Tuon, the Queen of the Dead.
=== Tuon's Visions ===
Suddenly, Izcill began receiving visions from Tuon, filled with memories of his ancestors who had been among the first to resist the First Great Plague centuries earlier. At first, these visions appeared sporadically, but soon they became a daily occurrence. Izcill worried he was losing his mind until Tuon revealed herself in another vision. She introduced herself and explained that she was the source of these visions. As they grew closer, she began to offer guidance and impart commands, declaring Izcill a prophet. Tuon instructed him to raise awareness of the Second Great Plague and to gather her followers. Tuon revealed to Izcill that there had been three prophets before him. Inspired, Izcill began enlisting his fellow alchemists from the lodge, warning them about the impending threat of the Great Plague. Tuon advised him that his skills in alchemy would be instrumental in spreading his influence. He soon traveled to the Kingdom of Karlia, where he quickly gathered followers by delivering speeches in markets and other crowded areas. He even recruited soldiers from the Karlian Military.
For two years, Izcill worked to grow his following, but it wasn’t long before the Kingdom of Karlia took notice. The King began labeling Izcill and his followers as "heretics." This led to the Karlian Military persecuting them, and soon the King discovered Izcill's identity as an alchemist, which made him and his followers targets for both the military and the local populace. In response, Tuon sent Izcill a vision, urging him to flee Karlia and travel to her hiding place in the Desolated Lands.Izcill and his followers fled Karlia, making their way to the Desolated Lands. As their supplies dwindled, some of the group succumbed to exhaustion and were left behind. Despite the hardships, they finally reached the desolate expanse, only to find themselves surrounded by undead warriors. To their surprise, the warriors did not attack, instead, they guided Izcill and his remaining followers to Tuon's home, known as The Pit. Upon their arrival, Izcill received a vision of The Altar of Tuon and felt compelled to join her cult.
