Akhek, Shezarkaian God of Death, Grave, and Twilight
Shezarkaian God of Death, Graves, and Twilight
Akhek is the Shezarkaian God of Death, Graves, Twilight, and the Afterlife. Through him he guards the afterlife for all Shezarkaian people from all cities to go to once they die. His city of Nakhamu is drab and gloomy, but the people prefer it that way. It is all in tribute to their lord of death, and many of the citizens are of the same bearing. Many Akhekians are off-putting and strange, but are usually seen as very resourceful and incredibly loyal. His priests help with burial rituals and guiding the souls along the way to Akhek, so they may go to the afterlife. Akhek is the lord of death, and many fear him, and his council is said to bow in both reverence and sheer dread when he enters his noble court.

Artifacts
Many of Akhek artifacts have to do with death, and the manipulation of souls. While it is seen as distasteful to bring back the dead as rotting corpses, spirits are fine so long as the priests who bring these spirits back so long as they pay a tithe to Akhek and his personal council.
