Emon, god of Death

#god #npc As E’Lliira brings life, Emon oversees death and the passage of the soul. With a soft jingle he appears to those whose time is near and whisks them away gently. The wicked are promised a different end though as screams and anguish and gnashing of teeth precede their death. Emon.jpg

Though his domain causes grief, many do not despise him for it and devout followers worship his fairness with great reverence. 

His fiends are his labourers but their nature makes them fickle and prone to greed and power, often making deals with humanoids in exchange for their souls.

Appearance

A tall, slender hunched-over being swathed in a shadowy cloak. Emon wears a mask covered in bells. 

Only the wicked know his true form. From ravings of those about to die, a record has been made that depicts Emon as head to toe cloaked in flowing, black bandages with demonic eyes peering from the gaps.

  • An inevitability, yet fear it not.
