Appearance

Myrkul was once known as the god of death, he was a primal god that was created by mortals long long ago. Taking the form of a skeleton clad in heavy robes, sometimes with a skeletal tail; sometimes not. Myrkul was the ideology and manifestation of death and the after life, of dark restful sleep. Both feared and hated by mortals. He believed that all things should die and decay away, that life was meaningless and hollow. Mortals hated him because they believed him to be irrational, taking the life of any he chose. Sometimes from children, sometimes meaningless deaths. Eventually the mortals grew tired of this treatment and begged and pleaded with other gods to vanquish Myrkul. The gods took pity on mortals and did just that without considering the consequences of their actions. Pelor, Roa, Mielikki, and Selune attacked Myrkul and eventually killed him.  

History

  Myrkul was once known as the god of death, he was a primal god that was created by mortals long long ago. Taking the form of a skeleton clad in heavy robes, sometimes with a skeletal tail; sometimes not. Myrkul was the ideology and manifestation of death and the after life, of dark restful sleep. Both feared and hated by mortals. He believed that all things should die and decay away, that life was meaningless and hollow. Mortals hated him because they believed him to be irrational, taking the life of any he chose. Sometimes from children, sometimes meaningless deaths. Eventually the mortals grew tired of this treatment and begged and pleaded with other gods to vanquish Myrkul. The gods took pity on mortals and did just that without considering the consequences of their actions. Pelor, Roa, Mielikki, and Selune attacked Myrkul and eventually killed him.  

purpose / use / creator

    Before Myrkul was killed the idea of an afterlife with a chosen god was unheard of and all of the gods lived on the mortal realm, not having a domain or plane that they existed on. It wasn’t until after the War of the Gods that death itself was killed, the souls of the dead awoken from their slumber and the undead walked the world. People could not die, some transformed into monstrosities of curses or abominations brought on by the absence of death. Lycanthropy, vampirism, zombies, ghosts, and tormented souls. It wasn’t until Myrkul was killed that the other gods saw that their actions brought pain and destruction to mortals. The death of hundreds of thousands of mortals affected their power drastically. For less worshipers meant less that believed in them and their power started to fade and become a shadow of what it once was.  

location, plane, realm, home

    Myrkul's death made the gods of good and the gods of evil see that waging war on the mortal realm would eventually lead to their death and the death of the world. So in order to fix their mistake they left the world of mortals to build an afterlife for their own followers. Taking on the role of a shepherd they created a place for many souls to lay down for their final resting place. The gods returned and purged the mortal realm of the dead and took the souls of the suffering to rest.   The gods named this period Nelithral; meaning death. It is a 25 day long month that has been engraved as a historical month. A short month of celebration, remembrance and mourning. During this time mortals dress up as monsters, creatures and undead. They roam the streets going house to house collecting treats and nick nacks to symbolize how the streets were filled with death. At the end of the month they have a feast and festival. Food, dancing, singing and fireworks carry on from morning till the dawn of the next day. Symbolizing the gods return to purge the lands of undead and to take the suffering souls into the stars to rest among them.   Since Myrkul; the god of death, died, the death domain has been left empty and unclaimed. The name Myrkul seemingly forgotten among mortals over time.
