Mavrosk
The God of Death
(a.k.a. "The Black Judge")
Mavrosk, God of the Death Domain, rules Drorik where he passes judgement on where all mortal souls will reside for eternity. He is said to appear as a tall, thin man dressed all in black with long white hair and an eye patch.
He has three Heralds: Herald of Poison, the Herald of Poison, Herald of Assassins, the Herald of Assassins, and Herald of Battle, the Herald of Battle.
Mavrosk decides which souls are worthy of eternity in The Domains of the Eight and which are sent to the Nine Hells. Exceptionally worthy souls may be asked their preference while those who died in battle (bravely or otherwise) are generally sent straight to Oderung in Hemslak.

Tenets of Faith
People do not usually worship Mavrosk as an individual deity, but rather as a complement to worshiping Yinwah, recognizing that there is no death without life. They will make offers to him however, and his name is invoked often in funeral rites. The two main tenets that Priests of Mavrosk teach are preparation for and acceptance of death.
Holidays
The Nights of the Dead on Somm 15th and 16th (nights with no moons) are two days dedicated to Mavrosk and remembrance of deceased family members and community figures.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Mavrosk and his Heralds do not necessarily try to speed death along or bring it in an untimely manner. Death comes to all. What they do fight against is necromancy and undead of all kinds; both of which they view as an abomination and an attack on Mavrosk’s domain.
