a couple of hundred years ago the great ak convened a moot with the other immortals in the forest of burzee and campaigned for dp to be granted the mantle of immortality based on how he'd changed the world for the good through unbridled selflessness. though there was a little dissent at first from the wind demon and the king of the knooks, the council eventually decided that what ak told them was true, this mortal dp was the single greatest man that had ever lived and it would be cruel to the rest of the world to deny him immortality.
