Vladyslav Kocki loses his Head
Vladyslav Kocki was a Bratvian chief of the Baracki people, a Domski tribe known for the peculiar rituals of their soothsayers. These mystics claimed to see the full procession of gods, both long and short, upon the twisting paths of fate. They would enter a trance having been ritually brought halfway to death by drowning in a river. Those who survived described a great cavern full of gods and men, each connected by multitudes of silver threads like cobwebs.
Kocki was an odd case because no Bratvian soothsayer could seek him out in the cavern and he was therefore called ‘Fateless’. It was assumed that he would be a pivotal figure in world history until he led an unsuccessful attack on a nearby Sostran tribe and was beheaded by Janus the Beheader who had apparently been destined to perform this one great deed.
