Teshkari
The collector of wayward souls and protector of the Honorable Resting. Teshkari
Son of Arvilus and Harkon as their sole child, he grew up in a fractured household, for his Mother is not a loving creature, while his father while loving of his offspring, was the executioner long before he was a father. Many say he grew close with Htar during his stay in their home, and subsequently with her parents Laark and Mivna.
Teshkari a god of death, he is the collector of the souls and the guide who leads them to their rightful destination. It is Teshkari people pray to, when loved ones are dead, and need safe travel to other side and to protect their loved family members from vile necromancy, and leave offerings in the hope that he will pity them, and not visit their house in harsh winters.
He hates necromancers and has made them his mortal enemies for defiling the natural order and for the misery they bring both the dead and the living. Statues of Teshkari are said to stop the flow of necromantic magic and therefore often found in cemeteries.
