paq'batlh lutqoq yIHarQo'. ngebqu'.

The details in the paq'batlh are a myth told to the public.

According to the popular story, sparks from the river of fire land in his
hair and burn it into the metal from which he forges the first betleH.

The secret, kept by the clerics, is that Kahless intentionally took a lock
of his hair and plunged it into the lava. When the returned Kahless
recounts that story instead of the one recorded in the paq'batlh, it's
supposed to be proof that he is indeed who he claims to be.  (The *true*
truth is revealed eventually, of course.)
