Aspect Mortus

Father of the dead, bringer of ends, Mortus is the ending of each strand of life. It is not anger or vindictiveness that brings ends, it is merely the lack of further purpose.   His goal is bringing to a close stories, and lives. When something is intended to end, he ensures that it happens on time and as planned. Many count him as an evil deity, but his followers often claim it is suffering to exist beyond ones rightful time.  

Domains

  His followers can be found in several domains of power:   Grave, Tempest, Trickery, War  

Followers

  Followers of Mortus could be simple morticians, or grave diggers. Some are just average people who believe nothing is permanent. Others are cheaters of death, bringers of war, and vigilantes who believe its their duty to bring the end to others. Barbarians of rage, Fighters, and Warlocks are often filling his ranks.  

Symbols

  A shriveled body (sometimes mummified)   A skull on a field of black   Clawed bone hands

Observance

Each set of eyes that has to watch someone pass from life, to death, has seen mortus.  His sacred grounds are the mounds of dirt between fences of burial yards.  Mortus is about endings, and letting go.  This can lead to people closing relationships by passing small carved skulls to the other person.  This should not be taken lightly, as bad luck seems to follow anyone who attempts to reestablish relationships that have been marked dead with mortus.
