Hazoret's History
The jackal-headed Hazoret is the Amonkhet god of zeal. She was responsible for the final trial and slaughtered the winner with her spear, rewarding them with the God-Pharaoh's presence. After the Hour of Devastation she became known as the God-Survivor.
Hazoret and her sibling deities looked over the plane of Amonkhet until the day of
Nicol Bolas's arrival. Despite their best efforts and fierce resistance, Hazoret fell to the might of the Elder Dragon and was rewritten alongside the soul of the plane to serve Bolas's ambitions.
Under Bolas's thrall, she believed herself to be his daughter, and to have been made from the same magic as the Second Sun. Bolas deceived the gods, though, making them believe he was the creator of Amonkhet, while the Second Sun was in fact natural to the plane. Hazoret would watch over the fifth and final trial: that of Zeal. This final Trial was a fight to the death. The initiates would fight whatever Hazoret deemed worthy. During the last Trial before the Hour of Devastation, the Worthy had to face dissenters and heretics to prove their faith. The winners would get killed by Hazoret herself.
During the Hour of Devastation, Hazoret fought to protect the citizens of Naktamun, hoping that the God-Pharaoh would come and end the destruction caused by the arrival of the twisted Gods. However, after Nicol Bolas's arrival,
Bontu revealed that she had helped the dragon planeswalker conquer Amonkhet long ago, due to her ambition. Bolas ordered Bontu to defeat Hazoret. But after she brought the god of zeal before the God-Pharaoh, Bolas betrayed and killed Bontu. Hazoret was now the last living god of Amonkhet. After engaging
the Scorpion God and being severely wounded, Hazoret managed to weaken its armor enough for Samut and the others to impale it on an obelisk which finally allowed Hazoret to use her remaining power to finally kill her fallen sibling. After Samut planeswalked away from Amonkhet and then returned, Hazoret took the remaining survivors of Naktamun and went with them into the desert, swearing to protect them as long as she drew breath. For this, she became known as Hazoret, the God-Survivor and mother of the mortals of Amonkhet.
During the War of the Spark. Hazoret had established a camp for the survivors near the ruins of Naktamun, which was protected from the
Locust and
Scarab Gods and their servants with a barrier similar in nature to the Hekma. She was visited by a group of planeswalkers seeking her help in the fight against Bolas. She spoke to Dack Fayden and told him that he was a better person than he thought and told him to face his destiny back on Ravnica. Hazoret lent her spear as a weapon to take down Bolas, which was immense and required multiple planeswalkers to wield.
Karn was able to grasp the weapon and transport it to Ravnica where he and
Angrath used it against Bolas's Dreadhorde. Later, the spear was used by
Niv-Mizzet in the climactic battle with Nicol Bolas.
