Mandos
Mandos was an Ainu, one of the Aratar, and a Vala who was responsible for the judgement of the Spirits (or Fëa) of all Elven dead. He also had responsibility for pronouncing the dooms and judgments of Eru Ilúvatar under Manwë. His real name was Námo, but was later known to the Elves as Mandos after his sacred Halls of Mandos, over which he presided, and where mortals would go when killed.
Mandos was the sixth greatest of the Lords of the Valar.
Mandos was the brother of Irmo (Lórien) and Nienna in the mind of Eru Ilúvatar. He and his brother Lórien were the "Fëanturi", the Masters of Spirits. His wife was Vaire the Weaver.
Mandos, upon appearing before the Ñoldor, was referred to be a dark figure with a loud voice, solemn and terrible.
He was described as being stern, dispassionate and never forgetting a thing. But unlike Morgoth, his Dooms are not cruel or vindictive by his own design. They are simply the will of Eru, and he will not speak them unless he is commanded to do so by Manwë.
He is worshipped by most clerics around the world, as he is the guide of the dead as well as the judge. Since death is universal, so is Mandos. He also has a cultlike following called the Sheperds of the Halls.
