The Hanged Man, God of Death

He Who Walks Behind, The Witness

  The being known as The Hanged Man is the god of death. He is the guardian of the passage from life to death and helps escort souls to their rightful place in the afterlife. Of all gods, The Hanged Man has perhaps the most varied set of followers. From clerics to assassin's, great lords to lowly peasants, all must pass through his domain and all must pay him service. The Hanged Man despises the undead and teaches his most devout to seek out and destroy them wherever they lurk.
