Dâei, Bane of Mortals
Dâei was born to Afshi and lived a normal life until the age of 16 when he and his sister were visited in their sleep
Azdar and were informed of their divine heritage. Afshi admitted everything the next day, and the next night Azdar revealed himself again and told the twins to travel the world until they found the edge which connected to the heavens. On their travels, Dâei and
Khâleh walked through many kingdoms and strange lands in pursuit of the world's edge. Dâei become distraught at the evil he saw in
Men's hearts through each kingdom they passed through. He saw engorged men ruling over others with no mercy, and lands over hunted to the point that there was no game left. After two years of searching for the edge of the world, Dâei and Khâleh found themselves onto of a mountain that extended into the clouds. Upon reaching the top, the twins looked down and could not see the world anymore, only the layer of clouds looked as pitch black as the night sky above them. Khâleh wept with anger as she believed their father had misled them and was tormenting them. Dâei however believed in his father and walked over to the edge and fell backwards back towards the world, disappearing through the darkness of the clouds. Khâleh yelled out for her brother, but when she looked up, she saw him in the sky as a bright luminescent object peering back down at her and the world, lighting the world from evil even at night. For his faith and loyalty, Dâei was made a god by his father by his father, and tasked as warden of his father's newest creation, the Derwezeleri (Gates of Death) where he would trap all mortal souls who did not gain the right to live among Azdar in his eternal garden. Dâei, while unhappy with his charge, obeyed his father and took on the form of the Moon looking over the world. Upon his mother's death, Dâei made her the Queen of Derwezeleri as part of the unconditional love between a mother and son. Dâei is depicted in the modern day as being a thin and sickly-looking man who during the day wanders the world with parchment and ink, judging every man on where their soul will go once they pass.
