The Journey
On one occasion, Strygwyr set out from his homeland of Xhacatocatl to roam distant lands. He came across a kingdom that practiced execution instead of sacrifice, done with hempen rope and metal blades. Fascinated by this culture, he stayed to watch the executioners, and the fascination with which the crowds observed their work. Dressed in the local attire, and covering his the sight of the Flayed Twins in his eyes with a hood, Strygwyr spent a season studying with the executioners. Despite his interest, he found the customs backwards, interpreting that the executed were being sacrificed to the mob that had gathered to watch. Satisfied with his observations, Strygwyr returned to his homeland to inform the priests of what he had seen.

The Demon
Slowly, the demon Eztzhok began to corrupt Strygwyr, its thirst for blood rivaling that of his gods. He received a pair of blades from the demon, and the embolded Eztzhok started taking more and more of Strgywyr's blood tributes, originally intended for the Flayed Twins. The Twins made their disapproval known, but did not realize until the last moment how much Eztzhok had corrupted Strygwyr, warping his visage into a demonic maw. At this, the Flayed Twins set out to reclaim their servant from the demon, and were only partially successful. The process took great sacrifice, although what precisely the cost was is unknown.
