The Sepulcher

The wind chimes bring the sad wind of the loss.And the book takes another name into the list.

Death. The phenomenon of horrible loss, the end of life, the abyss.Endless. All consuming. Silent. The very essence of this event, after centuries of worshipers crying, has gained form. The form of it was terrifying. Containing the very hell inside of himself, towering high floating in the air, pallid, skeletal form in a bloody red robe, and a spiked breastplate, with a floating skull in air elevated by flames erupting from the spot where the neck should be, and burning hands with dripping, molten flesh there he stood -The Sepulcher.

Personal history

Due to the peoples' beliefs, they wanted to have the murderers, criminals, traitors, cheaters, and other sinners burn forever after their death, and they also wanted to believe, that the people who they care about go into a better world, or at least find peace after they leave this world. And the wish was heard, and it took the form of a walking hell, for the guilty, and peace in books of The Endless Crypt.   The Sepulcher, however, remains silent, while worshiped or reached by the clerics and loyal devotees, and the only thing you can hear is the crying of the condemned souls. As the Pallid was dwelling on the material plane, he understood, that people need not only him, but those who will have answers, and chipped his own essence, to create other Gods, those who will reach for the people, comfort them in the embrace of death, give them hope, and the answers. But all Gods that he created of his own flesh and divinity, came out similar to himself, dark, grim, horrifying, but different. And in the end, they never worked together, and spent their existence in exile, far away from people. Until the barrier of Nine Seals, the divine gateway was put up, then the Reaper has stopped giving the divinity to the gods, and they sprawled for worshipers, to exist, to maintain their very essences strong.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The Sepulcher was one of the first gods, the opposite to the Sefirion - the Sapphire god of Life, but somehow they were understanding each other quite well, and as a result, the creation of the Nine Seals barrier was a communal effort of these deities. Also, Reaper was one of the primordial slayers, and one of the Shatterers of titans, in the Chaos Rebellion times.

Failures & Embarrassments
