preservation (each of the races represent the most prevelant trait
in their god). This angered Palelil because it revealed his short-
comings. He vowed to destroy Rhorkhad and the dwarves he had
created. [The history gets really complex in my mind from here but
you can probably piece together some of it by reading the Magic Item
descriptions.] It basically goes something like this: Palelil
gets mad at Rhorkhad, so he makes Mukora, a magic axe, which he

only appear on the planet in the form of visions (like a burning
bush) and even that requires tremendous energy. When Rhorkhad
imprisoned the gods , he said that if any creature wished to see
