Ahxalon

Ahxalon (Alternate spellings include: Azlon, Ahzalon, Axholan) is the god of puzzles, riddles and confusion. Ahxalon is often regarded as the lord of tricksters due to his domain baring a tendency to cause even the most clever minds to go mad. Ahxalon's origin is somewhat lost upon mortals. One account says the most clever trickster of all the lands called a challenge to those who think they can outsmart him. From this, Ahxalon used his powerful mind to outsmart satyrs, leprechauns and other tricksters. The god of knowledge Trivactus made a bet with Ahxalon, where if Ahxalon could beat Trivactus' test, He would become a god. Ahxalon knowing he was the most clever of mortals accepted. From here legends get inconsistent about the test that was arranged. Ahxalon, beating the test resulted in Trivactus in becoming shocked and angered. Odin, Chief of the gods stepped in and put Trivactus in his place and by raising Ahxalon to godhood.

Ahxalon is also a major character in an event known as "The Betrayal", Wherein Evets had attacked Odin and took his eye. Ahxalon had attacked in defense and had intended to trap Evets. This was a partial success, as Ahxalon had severely wounded Evets and weakened him to flames, it cost Ahxalon his cube. Since the event his puzzle cube serves as a crucial artifact in restoring the Amulet of the Sun, along with four other artifacts. The locations of these artifacts are unknown today Appearance: Ahxalon is often depicted as a pale skinned human with short brown hair and a goatee. Personal interactions with the deity have Ahxalon in the body of a fox or raven. On his chest, was a puzzle cube often said to be Ahxalon's heart. This is up for interpretation as some view it as the literal heart of the god, while some see it as a metaphor for his love for his domain. However, modern interpretations bare Ahxalon without his Cube, taken during Evets' Betrayal. The Cube in question is reported to be made of gold and obsidian, with unknown symbols inscribed on the edges. This cube has five turning axes on each corner. It is also rumored that touching the cube will shuffle it, forming a jagged shape. It is said those that return it to the original shape are granted audience with the Council of Gods and granted great deals of knowledge. Often times, driving one mad.
