Myth:
Once a mortal warlord in the days of empire, Arkuun shattered the sacred oaths binding his people to the Five Old Gods. Though cursed and hunted, he refused to kneel and was finally slain atop the Broken Spire, where his body turned to iron. His soul lingers deep beneath the mountains, offering strength to those who reject tyranny.

Symbols:

• A shattered manacle
• A cracked black iron ring

Ritual:
Before acts of rebellion, followers mark their palms with ash and blood, clenching iron shards until they bleed. Clean wounds are seen as Varkuun’s blessing; festering ones as rejection.
