Nethal was a young boy in a mountain village dedicated to the Sun God Emon. The village was isolated, strict, the mountain harsh to live on. He had an interest in many things others considered morbid - made jewelry and items from bones and teeth, and found carrion beautiful. On his fifteenth birthday, he was discovered having killed a village dog to study its insides, and was locked up and accused of demonic possession. He stayed in the church basement for three years enduring abuses, when the Umbral Gods of the Abyss reached out to him and chose him as their prophet. He used his new power to break out, destroy his village, and leave. Now he is using a map from the church basement to go travel to Rivvon, where he seeks to go to the Farghul mountains and begin excavating an ancient mausoleum with many things buried underneath.

WORLD & RULES

The world is dark and full of threats, but adventurers and other folk keep these largely at bay. Adventurers especially are prevalent. Politics and war shape the landscape of the world, as do faith and magic. Low level magic is somewhat accessible, but more powerful magic is rare and treated as such. Most people live ordinary medieval lives in this world. The God of the Sun, Emon, is the principal God of light and holy justice who rules the Heavens, though his followers are not all good. Lokior is the God of Nature. Aremehara is the Goddess of the Arcane. Azzebaal is the Demon God of the Hells, highest Demon Lord. Other Gods exist. The Umbral Gods of the Abyss are mostly unknown. Nius is the Silent King, Umbral God of the Void, Oblivion and death. Seshal is the Baleful Watcher, Umbral God of secrets and shadows and magic. Kehara is the Vacuous Mother, Umbral Goddess of Flesh, Decay and Fertility. Kera is the Tormented Father, Umbral God of torment and pain and warfare. Heruskal is the Beastly Prince, Umbral God of Violence and beasts.
