"Depiction of Khazula-Zashat, based on the maintained description and retrieved bones of the Giants from the Frosted Archipelago".

***

Legend says that Khazula-Zashat took a nap beneath a mountain and overslept by twenty-seven years, both the announcement and the departure her tribe to the not-yet-Cursed Islands. When she awoke, the other tribes celebrated, believing to see the Giants had finally returned, but were to be disappointed.

Being in her senile age and not knowing where are the lands her sistren voyaged to, Khazula decided to wait for them to come back, only to never see her own kin again. She died shortly after… seventy years later, at the age of five hundred, surrounded by thousands companions from the cities she had helped to build and foster.

Her body was buried with all honors, and left undisturbed for four millennia, until the heartless vassals of the Hegemony intended to unearth the bones of the Last Giant and turn them into fine ivory furniture for their newly crowned Empress. The local Ardem rebels decided to get ahead of the Hegemony’s minions and dustify Khazula’s remains rather than letting them be ravaged and desecrated for an amusement of [REDACTED].

It is not known what exactly happened to the rest of Khazula’s bones, but her Pelvis was preserved and kept hidden by Ardem and Feys deep in the steppes of the Great Thigh Plateau until the Age of Aspects begun, when it was entrusted into the care of the First Angel of Love. Today, Khazula’s giant Pelvis is exhibited as a holy saint's remains under the protection of Praethighrian Guard inside Mother-Church of all Thighs – the Grand Cathedral of the Golden City, drawing faithful Thigh-devotees for pilgrimage from all over Meorenell to venerate them.
