Kod’Taz, Broken Trial Grounds
Kod’Taz, the Broken Trial Grounds, is a ring of Trusik temples where a resistance network watches the Muramites and sends adventurers into the Ikkinz trials.
Temples of the Trusik
Kod’Taz is temple ground. The Temple of Singular Might is one of its trials, and Gazak Klelkek, its liaison, has watched it since the brotherhood began gathering information on the Trusik and the Legion of Mata Muram. Kevren Nalavat and Tublik Narwethar work with him.

The Diabolic Destroyer
Gazak warns you to keep your voice down. The Muramites have set one of their magic users to gather spiritual artifacts from the temple and drain their power. His people call it the Diabolic Destroyer. Its minions dig the artifacts out of the inner chambers, and it grows stronger on each one.
Your task is to fight through the temple, find it in the inner chambers and kill it before it grows too strong, then bring him an artifact. The legion will reinforce afterwards, but no single creature of that kind can be allowed to grow that powerful.

The trials
Seven trials open from Kod’Taz into Ikkinz, the Chambers of Destruction: three group trials, Singular Might, Twin Struggles and Tri-Fates, and four raids, Righteousness, Glorification, Transcendence and the Chambers of Destruction. When you have done the three group trials, Kevren has more work, starting with relics that point to plans in the Temple of the Damned.

Where it sits
The zone-line files join Kod’Taz to Natimbi to the west, Qvic to the north and Yxtta to the east. Ikkinz has no labelled zone line in the files, so our map draws it as an icon in the west of the zone and its link rests on the zone records. The zone suits characters of about level 65 to 75.
