Ayel

The Deadgather Ayel

I came from the void, mewling and incoherent. Before me an orb lay, beautiful and green and I peered down upon the thing I had discovered. I saw mortals who walked the surface of this orb, so vibrant and creative, making things so new to me. And then I witnessed war.

I witnessed blood staining emerald green grass and marring the shine of blades. I saw brave mortals who fought to protect their homes even when their masters were foolish. The injustice was a razor through my mind. I could at least offer a small mercy to these fallen. And so I became Ayel, the shadow who watches.

— Ayel, to a Priest of the Order of Samati
