Khal (/Kaal/)

"He Whose Brand Burns Flesh"

The Black Grin

Khal is the deity of death and domination. His followers tend to bear the sign of the skull, his primary symbol. Khal is often the first patron of many necromancers and seekers of immortality, though most commonly his followers serve as the keepers of graveyards, ruins, and tombs. Khal's clerics can also be found in regions tainted by the Fallen Ways where they serve to put down the mindless dead, whom they view as abominations to Khal, as they are neither immortal commanders nor commanded.
Khal's followers have no official name, though his centers of worship are his ossuaries. Most large cities have at least one ossuary which tends to the funerary rites of the dead, while rural regions will tend to have an allotted area for burial watched over by a cleric of Khal, typically a hermit.
The Libre Liberatio is Khal's holy text, shared with Karnathra and Jix, who are viewed as his lovers. Fraeyr and Nes are the most prominent of Khal's rivals.
