Murder
Murder was the Prisoner-God of the Paratheistic Malisyk Cult before both god and cult were destroyed by the Blood Snow Offensive.
According to myth, Murder emerged from the conflicted spirit of an assassin who slew his own family—it was what remained of his resolve when all his shame was gone. The Malisyk bound it to a prison of crystal and nourished it by sacrificing the souls of the worthy to it—hollow scouts, defeated heroes, and deceased leaders. They considered it to be the living amalgam the souls of their dead—a UR-Spirit and Conscious Afterlife.
To commune with Murder and learn its will, the Soul of an Ash-Urn Oracle was exorcised and fed to it, resulting in Possession of the Oracle. The Oracle would be replaced every few years, as the Oracle succumbed to Mindshatter.
