Legends say that Akun was the thirty three of Alkh descendants, being the son of the King and the Queen Mah. Akun had a great infancy, being educated by the most wise khitaians of his epoch. Soon Akun was the most bright of the Alkh sons, but even then he never saw what was outside of the royal palace where he passed all his yet short life.
Then he planned to escape from the guards view during a celebration on the city outside, hoping to finally see all his brothers, which he believed to have the exact same life as he had so far inside the palace... He escaped, and saw the poor and the diseased, saw the vile and the innocent who were suffering with starvation and war... Akun never returned to the palace of his father, and begun to wander Khitai in the search for a answer to all that pain. Finally he found that the answer was hidden deep inside himself, and is exact that what he still teach for his clergy.
The Akunai, monks from the Yin Mountains, believe that Akun reincarnated many times over, and each of this reincarnations are called as The Lamah by his clergy...

The Black Scorpion was once a powerful god, and fought endless battles against the forces of Alkh and Mah... Till the day that Haw-Matso-ju, a master samurai, finally killed Khun Kulun with his magical katana. Instead of vanishing forever, Kulun managed to cast a last spell and transformed his now weak life force into a deadly artifact known as The Ring of the Black Scorpion (see Items&Artifacts)
Now the small clergy who still worships Kulun is searching desperately for this lost ring, because they believe that a ritual could break it and free the vile Black Scorpion again. The shadow lords often aid in this search, because Odda thinks that Khun Kulun should be a great ally against Alkh when he get his liberty again...
