Molt, The Shadow

God of Endings, Time, Souls, Protection, and Duty

Titles: First of the Dead, The Shadow, Old Man Molt, Lord of the Cycle, Master of Doors, The Bonelord, Grandfather Shadow, The Withered Reaper, Keeper of Boundaries, Father Time
Favored Weapon: Scythe
Alignment: True Neutral
Obedience: Spend an hour re-evaluating your loyalty to all your current lords, masters, friends, allies, or similar beings that you hold loyalty towards, reaffirming your loyalty if they still deserve it. Do so in an area swathed in negative energy or with the theme of death.
Effect: Once per day as a standard action that does not provoke AoO, you can bring down the cold end of The Shadow upon the battlefield - you can immediately end one affliction, condition, or spell that is currently affecting one or more creatures within a 120ft radius; this affects both allies and enemies equally, though you must be aware of what you choose to remove. Additionally, thanks to the blessings of the Shadow taking root in your body, you can swap your Positive/Negative energy affinity as a swift action.

Tenets of Faith

Loyalty is the greatest virtue. Uphold it, embody it, and punish those who defile it.

Protect and Serve. Protect that which requires aid, and seek no glory in the doing of it. Serve faithfully and unnoticed.

Duty above all. Whatever it may be, do your duty and see it through to the very end - never turn your back on your obligations, no matter the cost.

What has ended cannot be again. Watch over that which has ended and ensure it is not brought back into function or action. Punish those who pervert the sanctity of endings or that which comes after.

Broaden your scope. Take no sides quickly, choose no allies lightly, and treat all equally - see past the trappings of tribalism and "sides" to understand the true principles that the struggles of your world is built on, and act accordingly to the benefit of all involved.

Divine Goals & Aspirations

To promote neutrality and amorality and critical thinking, to see all creatures hold one another as equals regardless of race, to see all creatures familiar and comfortable with death, to promote loyalty and faithfulness to all who ascribe to a cause/being/belief and to see time and death protected from those who would mess with them.

To the bonelord we consign,
This soul, to you, for all time;
Guide them well, Guide them fair,
And shephard them from this nightmare.
