: The first Moagim was beheaded and his body parts were
: dragged across the Myth world, separated from each
: other at the corners of the world, right? Moagim
: reborn was burnt by Connacht also, right? Was he
: beheaded as well? Just wondering...

As far as we know, he was just burnt, his ashes mixed with salt, and buried under the "legendary Mountains of Kor in the Untamed Lands."

And, incidentally, we don't know that the original Moagim was beheaded. He was just drawn and quartered. There have been assorted arguments on the Asylum about whether this quartering would include beheading or not. There are definitions and traditions running both ways.

Personally, I don't think he was beheaded, just because it would seem too weird that this was overlooked several times in official descriptions: "They sent the quarters of the body to the corners of the Earth, and the head...uh...went away." If there was any question of the head being left behind, say to survive a few thousand years and turn up as a deceitful counselor to the Nine, I think it'd have been addressed by now. Plus, I'm not sure what would be left of a Leveller's mind or spirit after the transient divinity vacated its body.
