Ahkin

The Hopeful One, The Fire God

Little brother of Tama-Nui-Te-Ra, Ahkin is the god that rules over the moments of transition: he is the morning star of the sunrise, and the orange skies of the sunset. He is in every door, and every pass, since he is the one who watches over the pass from this life to that beyond death, deep in the deepest parts of the Great Dream. He is understood as a fire god, since he rules over the act of burning the dead, but his followers don't worship him under any particular form: they "feel" him in lintels, twilight hours, the central hearth of a house or the hope that you need in order to take great changes in your life. In his temples, candles and hearths are always burning, guarded by his monks and priests, watching that souls find rest and they don't come back to torment the living. He has no totem animal besides the home hearth, and his favored weapon is the spear, since it can be used to stir and pierce souls just as you can stir up embers with a poker.

THE DEAD SHALL REST. THOU SHALT TRESPASS LIMITS CAREFULLY
Ahkin care and respect any place where a transition is made. They could look superstitious, and they really are: they always try to enter places with its right foot, they never place a mirror opposite to a door, and they never blow out a candle without praying. All of this are prescriptions from Ahkin himself, who watches that the souls of the living don't mix up with the souls of the dead.
Commandment rules: characters who worship Ahkin will always be the last ones to enter in a room of their all party. Also, clerics that worship Ahkin will always try to use their Destroy Undead every turn they fight undead creatures.
