Sophros

In the beginning, A being of pure consciousness that floated in the emptiness of the universe. As time passed, he grew bored of his own existence and sought to understand the nature of mortality. He would descend to the material plane and began to observe the beings that lived there. He watched as they went about their daily lives, oblivious to the fragility of their own mortality. Sophros would decide to make his presence known to those who were foolhardy and willing to throw their limited time away, and thus he became known as the god of mortality. He is confrontational By nature, but also uncaring, only whispering his morbid reminders to only those who Seek him. His followers are very few, and priests even fewer. Often of low societal status, from either before or after their devotion. His small amount of followers tend to build small shrines in quiet, secluded areas where they could contemplate their mortality in peace. A common practice for worshippers of this god is to light candles and sit in silence, listening to the beating of their own hearts as a reminder that they were still alive. so Sophros became known as a god of both fear and comfort, a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.

Personal history

An Early tale regarding Sophros goes as follows, 
One day, a group of mortals stumbled upon one of Sophros' shrines. They were a group of warriors, hardened by years of battle. The warriors were confronted by the priests who presented them an offer. They would not fight against the warriors, offering them the little wealth that the shrine haf inside. In return they were to enter the shrine and complete a simple ritual. That being the standard for worshippers of Sophros, lighting a candle, before meditating on ones own heartbeat. As they sat in silence, listening to their heartbeats, Sophros appeared before them. The warriors were initially frightened, but as Sophros began to speak, they felt a sense of calm wash over them. Sophros spoke of the importance of mortality, of how it gave meaning to life and made every moment precious. He reminded them that even the mightiest warrior would one day succumb to the inevitability of death. Moved by Sophros' words, the warriors became his followers. They spread his message throughout the land, building more shrines and spreading the word of mortality to all who would listen. And so Sophros became known as a god of both fear and comfort, a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. His shrines dotted the countryside, and his message of mortality spread throughout the land, reminding all who heard it of the fleeting nature of their existence.
