The [Hundar](https://www.worldanvil.com/w/terres-d-auquesse-cryptique/a/hundar-species) are a humanoid race that are known for their chaotic nature and love of the hunt. Legend says the [Hundar](/wiki/bicolline/species/hundar/) had a flourishing civilization before humans settled in the [Central Lands](/wiki/bicolline/regions/empire/), though archaeological evidence is scarce. Some believe that there was a supernatural effort to erase the knowledge of Hundar before Morcius Hakasson, the current [Great Khan](/wiki/bicolline/people/great-khan-of-garganesh/) of [Auquesse](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-dauquesse/), encountered the Hundars and re-awoke knowledge of them by consuming divine flesh.

ay it be sure of all citizens of the [New Republic of Dinant](/wiki/bicolline/regions/federation-argannaise/dinant/) and allied lands that:
For supporting Morcius--Grand Khan of the cursed lands of [Garganesh](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-dauquesse/garganesh/), Apprentice of the Mummy Isphet and cause of the latter's return to our world, Wizard of Skulls, and supposed to be the Demon of the Underworld named [Tenamuahc](/wiki/bicolline/supernatural/tenamuach/)--in his attempt and ultimately success to reach the post of Scholar, the following persons are considered de facto illegal and heretic of the worst kind:
Varania Do'Denir, Queen of [Nasgaroth](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/)
Hugo Bartez, Charlatan and Imperial Sorcerer
By this decree, it is the task of all Dinantais and Dinantaise, by decree lord, and all followers of the Burning Flame, by divine decree, to hunt down the felons and apprehend them so that they are questioned by the Inquisition and subjected to judgment by the Brazier.
Let it also be certain that any individual collaborating or maintaining any relationship with the said felons will be considered accomplices, both in the eyes of the Inquisition and the militia and the Free Army of Dinant.
What's more, the felon Hugo Bartez sees himself on the field being considered ungodly and excommunicated from the Goddess and her dogmas. We also urge the Solarite Lectorate and its representatives to do the same, given the severity of the actions of the Felon towards all the principles that the Goddess represents.
It should be noted that the other supporters of Morcius, such as the necromancer Veldruk, were already on the Dinantaise and Inquisitivee blacklist and that this decree only strengthens this position.
The [Ardent Inquisition](/wiki/bicolline/organizations/ardent-inquisition/) with the support and decree of office from [Clowake Eldaloth de Grossouvre](/wiki/bicolline/people/clowake-eldaloth-de-grossouvre/), Seigneur de Dinant, make this decree official on the field.
Wisdom and Courage.
Grand Inquisitor Jonak of Aspremont, Burning Inquisition

Auquesse is led by **the Great Khan** who is said to be the representative of **Tenamuach**, a powerful cosmic entity. Tenamuach, known to some as the Great Devourer, is associated with the occult art of Skull magic where mages provide human sacrifices in exchange for power.

#### Great Khan Morcius Sicarius Hakasson
The current Great Kahn is **Morcius Sicarius Hakasson.**
Morcius comes from the hidden city of [Syrn](/wiki/bicolline/places/city-of-syrn/). Before becoming Khan, his mission was to return the Hunda In 1006, Morcius left Syrn to walk once again under the stars. It was then revealed to him that his ancestors were a race descended from the First Men, the Hundars. He was henceforth tasked with bringing them back into the world of the living so that the perpetual hunt could resume.
Fierce and devoted to the cause of [Teratos](/wiki/bicolline/religions/teratos/), Morcius received the apostolate of the Beast in 1010, along with the command of the War Dogs. In 1013, he performed a grand ritual through which he and his comrades became Hundars. Thus was formed the Hundar’Arda, of which he proclaimed himself the supreme leader, the Reiks’ar.
Eager for predation and danger, he joined the forces that confronted the follies of the Messenger and [Lo'Vokun](/wiki/bicolline/supernatural/lovokun/). The globally significant conflict profoundly changed his vision of existence. During the events of the Maelstrom, he understood that dedicating himself to Evil was superfluous. He must aim for Power in all its forms.
His prowess in combat, his will, and his great talent for leading both men and women earned him the favor of Tenamuahc in the winter of 1017\. As the Grand Khan, he subsequently contributed to the expansion of Garganesh's influence on the surrounding provinces. He abdicated the teratossian apostolate with the intention of dedicating himself entirely to the occult practice of Pacts. Thus, he founded the Sicarii, an entire order dedicated to ensuring the hegemony of Auqessian occultism and that of Tenemuahc in the [Lands of Auqesse](/wiki/bicolline/regions/terres-dauquesse/) and beyond.
Recently, Morcius walks purposefully toward what proves to be a new step in his existence on [Mundus](/wiki/bicolline/other/mundus/). Indeed, by the will of Tenamuahc, he will become the new Emissary of Nesh. For the first time in the history of the world, the functions (and powers) of the Grand Khan and the Emissary will combine in one person. With these new powers, Morcius can continue to ensure the well-being of his nation and his people.

1014 \- A [Garganesh Waste](/wiki/bicolline/events/garganesh-desolation/) surrounds the [Tolternoth](/wiki/bicolline/regions/nasgaroth/harganeth/tolternoth/) Chasm. A horde of [Tenamuahc](/wiki/bicolline/supernatural/tenamuach/) cultists led by High Priest Sicarius gather at the great monoliths of Tolternoth's Deep, summoning the power of time immemorial and the Blood Demon. Using a Veldryn Crystal as a catalyst, Sicarius opens a breach between worlds to teleport the armies of the [Infernal Legion](/wiki/bicolline/organizations/infernal-legion/) and the [Tenamuahc Horde](/wiki/bicolline/religions/tenamuahc-cultists-civic-cult-of-auquesse/) to the Argan domains of Riosis and Gravenport\! Once the armies are sent to do the dark work of Tenamuahc, hundreds of slaves are brought to the edge of the monoliths, and brutally sacrificed by the cultists. Nesh's words are spoken, and the earth trembles as rivers of magma rise from the depths to cover the region. A Garganesh Desolation is created. As the cultists rejoice at the destruction thus caused, the runes of the Monoliths glow once again, fueled by this bloody primordial magic. A door opens to another world... Who knows what nameless horror will emerge? The army of the 1st Khan defeats the Dark Guard of Akilam and takes possession of the chasm.

Responding to the call of their only lord, the reiks'ar Morcius Hakasson, the [Hundar](/wiki/bicolline/species/hundar/) packs have been converging in recent months towards this region of the Lands of Auquesse, a mystical land saturated with the blood of countless sacrifices for which the cosmic entity that is renowned all fear under the name of Tenemuahc. While some have long believed that this territory is a source of curses, the Hundars perceive things from a completely different angle. For them, it is nothing more and nothing less than a long-desired motherland. Now adorned with the banners of the Hunda'Arda, this place could finally see the glory of future hunts grow. The latest arrivals are now crossing the border and hurrying to reach the domain of Eternal Sun just in time for the festivities of the [Akil'ar](/wiki/bicolline/events/akilar/), "the greatest of hunts" or "the Primordial Hunt". In Hundar tradition, this is the moment when the packs release into the wild a certain number of choice victims that they have captured during the year in order to hunt them one last time. The ultimate goal of the latter is to offer sacrifices to the Great Mother, Hundar, as well as to her son the Savage, in order to appease their hunger sufficiently so that he does not hunt during the winter and avoid that once spring returns, they devour everything in their path.

It is in this teeming crucible that the [Mensis Martius](/wiki/bicolline/events/five-year-anniversary-secular-festival-of-terres/), the Great Khan Morcius, on the occasion of the nation’s five-year anniversary, declared the celebration of a secular festival to which all – yes all – were invited.
