The Layil Family Scribe: Momar Singh

Momar Singh’s family line traces back centuries to the Maharajah of the mountainous Northern region of what would become India. Nestled in the foothills and valleys of the high Himalaya, the kingdom was known as Patiala, and later Punjab. Well before his birth, Momar’s family line was cursed and bound to a cruel First Born family called Mahal. Later, another First Born, called Layil, was traveling through Patiala and was attacked by the Offspring of Mahal. After a great battle, Layil triumphed and killed Mahal. In an act of mercy for the curse-bound Singh family, Layil released Momar’s ancestors from the curse.  

Knowing no other way to exist, the newly freed Singh Scribes begged Layil to bind the family to him. He refused to place the curse anew, no matter how freely entered into. However, Layil did grant the Singh family the powers of the curse — without the death threat — and made the powers only contingent on the Scribes’ service. Each Scribe and their family line were now free to leave the service, and all they would lose was the supernatural abilities. 

That is how the Singh family came into the service of Mara Layil’s family blood line.
