Khapaq

In the beginning, in the lands now known as Sipan, a man was born. His name was Khapaq. He plied his trade as a man, growing to become one of the most respected names in all of metalworking. He helped others develop processes to purify their ores beyond what any non magical smith had ever seen, and aided in the study of techniques that bordered on the arcane. Like all men, however, Khapaq died.

Fifty years after the death of the former, a man was born. His name was Khapaq, and like many in the newly founded nation of Tambo, he lived as a farmer. During his life, he reimagined irrigation, taking advantage of the natural flow of water from the mountains, and introduced more effective crop rotations, greatly helping the harvests of the land. Like all men, however, Khapaq died.

A further fifty years after that, during a period of great turmoil in the land of Coatl, a man was born, His name was Khapaq. He was born a warrior, yet had he lived longer, he would have likely revolutionized warfare in his nation. Like all men, however, Khapaq died, sacrificing his life so his comrades might fight another day.

Three lives. One life for each Suyu. Over 20 years, these souls through means as yet unknown joined together, and in their union they became something greater than they were. One deity to serve as a patron of the three distinct Suyu of Aymara.

## **Personality**

With the experience of 3 human lives of variable length and hardship, Khapaq has developed an attribute often disregarded by the divine. Patience. Like a bountiful harvest, heated metal, or a successful ambush, being able to wait for the right moment is what he considers his greatest boon. Furthermore, his warmth and friendliness are second to none

### Appearance

Khapaq was born a man, and he died thrice as one. Thus, whenever he appears, he takes any of the three forms he took in life, or a mixture of all three. All are immediately recognizable, from the simple farmer's visage, to the metalworker's soot covered hands, to the warrior's poise.

## **Realm**

When people think of the word “Chacra”, they might think of esoteric arts of the mind and gates of flow through the body. Those are Chakras. Chacra is the Tumi word for farm, and within nirvana, that is the exact appearance of Khapaq’s realm. Endless fields, ever bountiful, where those who even in their rest wish to toil the fields may still taste the fruits of their own labor.

## **Worshippers**

### Clergy

Khapaq's organized clergy is often referred to as the followers of the Sun. They're based in the Valley of the Clouds, within the monastery that additionally serves as the grain stores for Aymara. These clerics and priests travel around Aymara and the world, spreading their knowledge of agriculture and agrary magic to those who need it.

Furthermore, the Followers of the Sun have permanent priests in most towns within Aymara, helping the people with their day to day lives and, of course, participating in farming.

### Direct Servants

Apart from the Envoy, who occasionally receives nudges from Khapaq, he has one direct servant. A Titanic Condor named Amaru. It’s believed that when Amaru's shadow passes over a field, that harvest will be beyond compare.
