Zul's Sickness

Becuase Zul's Loa is Mueh'zala, jackel goddes of fertility and passing away, he has angered her by consuming Merlyn's flesh.

she was originally angry with him for thwarting her in her attempt to take the life of his children. she was going to take the life of the first child, and then the second. instead Zul sacrificed his first unborn infant to save the life of his second. Mueh'zala was unable to get either child. he also cut open his pregnant mate to get the first infant in order to sacrifice him. because Zul has now messed with both birth and death Mueh'zala is EXTREAMLY pissed off at him. and sacrificing merlyn for turning his back on his tribe BECAUSE he was trying to protect a mother and her unborn calf was the last straw. upon eating Merlyn's flesh Mueh'zala whispered a curse upon Zul'thraze:


a voice created from the sounds of howls and wind. a cacophony of creaks, bellows, and screeching.
"foul child of flesh! ignorant! blasphemous! how dare you act in with such god-like direction! I shall punish you oh child of the sands! may your death draw close as I take from you your very years! may you feel the whisper of death whenever his ghost draws near! may you understand your very mortality! vile creature! ignorant king!
