Ian Crosshold
The Champion of Undeath
Ian is a skeleton that arose through the influence of Bloodstone to act as the bridge between life and death. Ian is often considered the shepherd for the souls whose bodies they can no longer return to as undeath has taken them. This duty is often a thankless one, but it is one that Ian is gracious to have. Ian converses with the souls of adventurous races, as well as the creatures that worship the Champions and their Cores. His mount is recognized as being a Skeletal Warhorse.
Dogma
Ian is a sorrowful Champion that is burdened with their duties. He collects the stories of the spirits that lost their place in their bodies, and He leaves them to their pantheon's afterlife. Afterward, if the body were to rise through any means, Ian observes and follows the ones He suspects would cause the most death. It is His responsibility to follow through with Bloodstone's plans.
Gaining Favor or Redemption
Ian's favor is not gained, lost, or in need of redemption. Death takes us all at some juncture. When unlife envelops one's body, their soul will be the closest to Ian, and is considered a great honor to share one's story.
Interactions with the world
Worshippers of Blood tend to develop the mournful traits that Ian is known for. The worshippers of Ian act as counselors to creatures that cannot cope with the toll that death and the resurgence of life brings. Cores that have worshippers of Ian are typically thankful as these worshippers are exceedingly helpful for keeping morale at an all-time high.
