He lived far beyond any mortal span thanks to their arts, but he could not be kept alive indefinitely. On his death bed, the priests promised that one day he would return and rule over another golden age, a paradise. He died with a curse on his lips and his body interred in a great pyramid of unsurpassed majesty and bound with the mightiest incantations of power and preservation until his appointed day of awakening.¹ He was succeeded by King [[Ahtaf I]].¹
