Tectuktitlay

King of Draj (a.k.a. The Mighty and Omnipotent, Father of Life and Master of the Two Moons)

Tectuktitlay made himself the center of Draj religious ceremony and life. Battle and war are important aspects of this religion, and ritual blood sacrifice is central to the rites of its beliefs. Tectuktitlay's templars are called moon priests. The moon priests claim that the king raised the city from the mudflat that it sits upon, and has ruled since time began. According to the tales told by the moon priests, the moons Ral and Guthay pitied the world and gave to it their son, a god in mortal flesh named Tectuktitlay. The god led his chosen people out of suffering and to a new home. With a word, he repaired the lands, turning sand to soil and bringing forth lush growth. With a wave of his hand, he raised a city to give shelter to his followers. His work complete, Tectuktitlay made ready to depart, but the mortals beseeched him to stay and protect them from jealous enemies who would claim his gifts for themselves. The Father of Life consented, and the people built for him a palace in which he would dwell forever.
