Berath
Berath (a.k.a. The Twinned God, The Pallid Knight, The Usher, The Goddess of Death)
Berath is the god of death, doors, and the wheel of reincarnation itself. Portrayed as either a genderless deity or twinned male and female incarnation, Berath seldom speaks with their followers. Their priests are expected to be rational and unemotional, treating death with a dispassionate dignity.

Holy Books & Codes
Berathian Scripture
Behold, thou faithful, the visage of thy transformation. Fear not the journey when the portal opens. Become one with the Wheel with glad heart and cheerful countenance. For the doorway shall open for all in their time. Neither the rich nor influential, neither kings nor rulers, neither the strong nor powerful can escape its embrace. Berath will usher thee through the doorway and thou willst return to life, thy mortal life begun anew. There goest the cycle. There goest life. There thou goest also. Thou shalt approach the door, the inevitable shall approach thee. Do not turn back on the portal, do not turn back on new life. Walk the path and welcome change or face the knight For he walks the road with thee and will guide all to their destination. Thou mortal, the skull thou wilt become. Thou closed off, the key thou shalt turn. Thou sealed, the threshold thou shalt cross.
