Charon - The Ferryman of Passages

God of Death, Afterlife, Passages and the Styx

Charon (KAIR-unn) Said to be the one god, everyone must meet some day. Charon ferries the spirits of the dead to the afterlife, he does not care for emotional quandaries. He knows that some day all must stand before him at the shore of the river Styx. Be it hell, heaven or some other afterlife, all the planes are open to him. Charon is known by many as the ferryman, but one of his more darker names is as the Horseman of Death. It is whispered that when the end times finally come that Charon will ride once more and the gates of the death will open wide. Many people place coins upon the eyes of the fallen in hopes that it might pay for a passage upon the ferryman's boat.

Tenets of Faith

  • Death is the natural end of life. There is no pity for those who have fallen.
  • The path of Fate is sacrosanct. Those who pridefully attempt to cast off their destiny must be punished.
  • Undeath is an atrocity. Those who would pervert the transition of the soul must be brought down.
