Mysteries of Death

The Mysteries of Death is the generic name for a series of mostly unrelated death cults. They all worship the same deities, though: the King of Death, his Queen, and their daughters. Together, they manage the afterlife and the slow decay of the universe into entropy. They are patient, often merciful (to a point) and relatively disinterested in the living. Despite this, they are greatly feared and respected, so much so that their names are rarely invoked, instead the words "the god and his wife" to refer specifically to the pair of them. To aid the king and queen a whole host of daughters known as the Hamasana act as psychopomps, ferrying the dead.
