Trill, the Dance of Death

The god called Trill has fallen so far into legend so as to be less a deity than a prophecy, foretelling the end of all things.

Trill's Doctrine

Trill does not call followers. She makes no attempt to contact with the world outside the Pillars, and the rituals to reach her are esoteric and dangerous. Those few who come into contact with her and survive are changed, and one of the ways this manifests is a touch of divine power that doesn't go away, but one who seeks to join the dance of death for a taste of power will be sorely disappointed if they remember enough of who they were to know how altered they were.

She Who Calls The Final Dance

Trill is considered a principality, but she has not been seen on Kairos in any mortal memory. However, there are myths all across Kairos of a danse macabre, ranging from fanciful stories of the dead dancing with the living to a young girl appearing and dancing young men to death to morbid prophecies which foretell the rising dead compelling mortals to dance a final chorus, forcing them to watch as the world ends. At the head of all of these is a young woman, happily leading the death-dance. Scholars mostly agree that Trill is not her real name, but that her actual title was censored and eventually lost due to superstition that simply speaking her name was a harbinger of the end times.

Nobody knows if she is meant to be a tool some other force will use to bring about the end or simply an inevitability which will coincide with it. Everyone knows, in the same way that everyone knows a spontaneous volcanic erruption would be cataclysmic, that if she were to cross the Pillars, life on Kairos would end. Nobody knows why she hasn't.
