Death of Death

Disaster / Destruction

The death of the death god; Myrkul, after the great war among gods. After the death god was defeated and killed the gods realized the destruction they had caused across the planet and left to prevent further loss of life. Starting a new era of DD; Death of Death.

When the gods broke out into war they formed alliances and chose sides. Myrkul believed that all aspects of life were needed to give life meaning, death, pain and sufferings were all part of life just as much as happiness and love. Some of the gods believed that this was not true and that death and other gods that brought suffering or whos domain was of darkness, suffering or pain should be exterminated.   It wasn't until the death god was killed that the dead started to rampage and roam, souls trapped on the planes to roam and cause mayhem. With out the death god to shuttle them into the afterlife the dead walked the earth. The gods of good and light saw this and their mistake. Pelor; the god of the sun, declarer that all gods should provide their followers an afterlife and that he would shuttle the ones that chose not to follow or worship a god or that committed horrible crimes into the river of the dead. There he believed they would parish and feed the creatures of death for their sins.   This day became known as The Day of the Dead, a day where the people give thanks to the gods for ridding the world of the undead plague. A day to remember loved ones past and to rejoice that they once lived. Many creatures dress up as abominations, monsters and beasts of the undead kind as a remembrance that if it wasn't for the gods the world would be a dangerous land. The fact that the gods caused this is all but forgotten and hidden. Written out of history and covered up by the gods themselves in shame.
