EXCERPTS :

 

Excerpt from Lee Clark Zumpe’s “The High Priest of Turmiz”

 

In the Year of the Blood Moon, Xamol first journeyed to Turmiz with a dozen and one black-hooded acolytes. The Great Reformer in his youth vowed to reveal the wicked underpinnings of the realm’s heritage and – during the course of his career – promised to purge the Priesthood of all the depraved perversions of the Scripture that harkened back to the days of Ak Khun Khan. Xamol the Purifier came to Turmiz as a vigorous, strong-willed, fervent revolutionary, eager to challenge the arcane mystics who swore allegiance to the legacy of the Old One.

 

The followers of Ak Khun Khan’s disciplines entertained Xamol’s party and witnessed his exhortation on the malignancy of derivative dogma. In their lavish shrine set deep in the mountain, they gave ear to the Great Reformer as he admonished the assembly of Turmiz for deifying the image of the Old One, praising him in hymns, and making sacrifices in his name. Respectfully, they feasted with their presumptuous guests, shared ivory-yellow wine served in golden goblets, and even prayed together at the feet of the idol of Rahtu.

 

Yet, never once did the Priesthood of Turmiz yield to Xamol the Purifier’s insistence that they renounce the name of Ak Khun Khan.
