The Ahkeli rings describe [[The Clayshaper]]'s story, and we know that The Clayshaper's name is Ahkeli, so it is also theorized that his name is Uzaza. However, no definitive proof on his name has yet arisen.

Lore

The First King was the first king of an ancient civilization known as the Proto-Vaal, which predates the Vaal and Lightless civilizations. Through the story told by Uzaza's Mountain, Uzaza's Meadow, and Uzaza's Valley, the following is known about The First King's era:

  • The First King led his people through mountains to find a place to settle.
  • The early Proto-Vaal civilization lived in an icy climate with both land and water frozen over.
  • The First King knew a method to obtain fish that swam under the frozen river with which he fed his civilization.

The First King's name

Murals found in the Azurite Mine's Primeval Ruins biomes depict a figure wearing items similar to Ahn's Contempt, Ahn's Heritage, and Ahn's Might, suggesting that the First King's name is "Ahn". However, this name may also instead refer to a later descendant.

Alternative theories speculate the First King's name as "Uzaza", as the three Uzaza's rings reference the First King in the flavour text. The three Ahkeli's rings reference The Clayshaper, and it is known that Ahkeli is indeed the name of The Clayshaper. However, Putembo is not currently known to be a reference to Aul.
