Disambiguation: this entry refers to Ikalak on the second incarnation of the South-West Island, created July '05
Eons ago, the seed of greatness was sown. The seed that would one day lead to the pre-eminence of Ikalak among the realms of the South-West.
From the ranks of the vast pantheon residing in the divine celestial abode, a ball of fire arced down in a blaze of light and embedded itself in the soil, on the self-same spot where the silvery spires of Ikalak now rise soaring into the sky.
Out of a crack in the now smouldering ball arose the avatar of Nergal, God of War and Pestilence. Rising to her full eight feet, She surveyed the countryside and saw that it was Good, with both swamps, mosquitoes and quicksand in abundance. Content with her chosen site, the avatar sat down and waited. And waited. And waited.
After a few millennia, the first vertebrate lifeforms appeared on the shores, only to promptly die from viral infections, sepsis, and internecine squabbles. It would take several millennia more before a life form evolved that was hardy and brutal enough to survive on Nergal's Chosen Site. These lifeforms became what today is known as the Nobles of Ikalak.
The avatar became the first ruler of Ikalak, and after She saw that we were bloodthirsty enough to hold our own, She left for other shores to spread the word and the plague. In Ikalak, the first Pontifex Maximus ascended the throne in the ceremonial bile-green robes as the terrestrial representative for Nergal. Through the Pontifex and his instrument of war, the Paladin Primus, Nergal seeks to spread strife and bloodshed to the world. We shall not disappoint her.
