Xyra

The Silent Reaper is the keeper of forbidden knowledge, and the mistress of undeath. Thriving on secrets and the allure of the uknown. She is engimatic, manipulative, and cold, with an insatiable hunger to uncover and control the mysteries of life and death which early on put her on Ithe's bad side.
Ever the master of secrets and necromancy, Xyra saw the Primordial War as an opportunity to pursue forbidden knowledge. And what she found was a way to harness the power of the Primordials for her own gain. She raised legions of undead to serve her, but her unchecked ambition caused catastrophic harm to the world. When she attempted to bind a Primordial’s essence into an undead form, the ritual unleashed devastation on both sides.

Depiction

Once a radiant being of pure light, Xyra has decayed. They appear as a skeletal figure cloaked in tattered robes of darkness, with their hands perpetually raised as if holding forbidden tomes. Their skull is half-covered by a mask, the eye sockets empty but for flickering shadows. Their body exudes an aura of cold, and an eternal mist of whispering voices follows them wherever they go.

Divine Domains

The Veil of Unmaking is Xyra's domain, a mist-shrouded labyrinth of bone spires and shifting shadows. Whispers of forgotten secrets echo endlessly, ensnaring those who seek forbidden knowledge. It is a realm where the very ground is a shifting sea of fragmented memories, as if the very earth is being erased and rewritten with each step. The Veil itself feels alive, pulsating with the energy of forgotten truths and the remnants of long-dead gods, always waiting to ensnare those who dare seek its forbidden knowledge.
In this realm, time has no meaning, and those who wander too long may lose themselves in the madness of their own thoughts, as the whispers of the lost echo endlessly, offering both promises of power and the inevitability of despair.

Followers

Xyra’s followers are known as the Veiled Seekers, scholars, necromancers, and occultists obsessed with uncovering forbidden knowledge. They are often reclusive, conducting rituals to communicate with the dead, and they guard ancient crypts and libraries, seeking out lost or forbidden texts. They are adept at the use of necromantic magic, often employing it to glean secrets from the dead or to extend their own lives in pursuit of further knowledge.

Commandments

The price of knowledge is sacrifice.

To master death is to master the universe itself. Do not fear the grave, for it holds knowledge that no mortal can comprehend.

The wisest are those who know when to stop seeking, for some truths are best left buried.
