Pan’ekk

Vengeance Incarnate

Pan'ekk is the god of retribution, and the brother of Pan'ier. While Pan’ier views Pan’ekk as a twisted reflection of himself, Pan’ekk views his brother differently. Pan’ekk craves the catharsis of re-unification as Pan’ll, but knows this will only come with the destruction of Adar. Outside of Pan’ekks single minded violence he rarely seeks conflict. The doctrines of Pan’ekk often teachs that any pursuit seperate from their target merely impedes their final goal.

Worship of Pan’ekk is almost exclusively in secret. Those who seek catharsis through violence almost always look to Pan’ekk for relief. Many are those who have been wronged in their life and hope to find purpose in the pursuit of their prey. Violence is seen as a tool rather than an end for those who worship Pan’ekk which makes him especially popular amongst professional killers and assassins. Priests of Pan’ekk almost always practice the ‘art’ of retribution themselves. The highest sacrament, and requirement to become a priest, is to claim a trophy from your greatest target and place it upon the alter as an offering.

Following the Sundering of Pan’ll, Pan’ekk felt empty. Lacking the mercy of Pan’ier Pan’ekk became filled with an un-quenchable vengeance. Knowing Adar was the locus of his division he struck at the King of Adurra with a focused fury. Adar saw the darkness in Pan’ekk’s heart, but so too did he see his ambition. For seven days Adar battled Pan’ekk without hope of an end. At the seventh day Adar willed their weapons gone, for Adar had power still over Pan’ekk. Though Pan’ekk attacked with teeth and fist Adar simply willed his feet still. Adar understood Pan’ekk’s singleminded fervor, and he saw the strength in his mind. Adar had made clear the utter power he held over Pan’ekk in his realm: Adurra. Knowing the strength and power of the twin Blade Gods Adar proclaimed an arrangement. Pan’ekk and Pan’ier would serve at his side as twin marshalls of Adurra, or Adar would will them destroyed forever. Pan’ier knew at once his place was at the side of Adar, but so too did Pan’ekk. Pan’ekk still schemes vengeance upon Adar for the defeat he had suffered, but so too does Adar understand Pan’ekk’s lust for vengeance. Today Pan’ekk plots the death of Adar while he serves by his side.
