[1] The Gray is the afterlife of the common people, in lore said to be located right on the horizon where Light meets Dark.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
They are often represented with a set of scales. Their divine colors are silver and blue.
Holidays
In the time of the gods, the death of the person was not something greeted with great sadness. Rather, a celebration was thrown in honor of the life the deceased lived. The family was brought gifts of money and food, and extended family and friends would gather to recount tales of the deceased's deeds. Such a tradition still exists in the modern times, although it is no longer attached to Estrosh.
Physical Description
Body Features
Estrosh's more human form is indecipherable, seen as infinitely old and infinitely young. Their skin is gray as ash, alight with lightning-like tendrils, and wisps of smoke follow their every move. Some art depicts them as more animalistic, however. They are a bipedal beast with the head of a vulture and great gray crane wings.
Facial Features
Estrosh's face is more human than Hopheht's, but it lacks a nose, and it is ageless while also being lined with wisdom. This head is often ringed by a flare of gray smoke that resembles hair.
Apparel & Accessories
In art, Estrosh is doned in a thick-clothed cloak, usually with the hood drawn up. They also often have a set of scales with them.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Estrosh is rumored to come from everything yet nothing at all, as are their other two siblings. With Beofrera's help, they weaved the world together. It was Estrosh who crafted the seas and mountains and everything in between, and with it they created the means to tear it apart: storm, fire, earthquakes, and wind.
The only life they gave unto the world was the creatures that plucked life's remains from it: vulturine creatures.
Gender Identity
As the other two Angels, Estrosh is typically depicted as genderless. However, they can be seen as female in some art, usually in a mothering or maternal manner.
