Nerull

The Reaper, the Foe of All Good, King of All Gloom, the Hater of Life, He Who Revels in the Slaying of the Living, the Bringer of Darkness

Nerull is the god of Death, Darkness, Murder, and the Underworld.
Nerull is usually seen as a black-robed skeleton with a rust-red body and green, ropy hair. He carries a staff called Lifecutter that at his command grows a scythe blade made of scarlet energy. He flies through the skies, slaying the living and undead alike, crumbling them to dust with a mere touch of his bony finger.
Nerull's temples are hidden and usually subterranean except in the most evil lands, as befits the god of darkness and the underworld. In the Hold of the Sea Princes, cultists of Nerull made it their goal to frustrate and destroy the Cerulean Empire. This cult has recently been responsible for a series of extremely mysterious, grisly, and above all scary murders of various servants of good; apart from this they've kept themselves extremely secretive.

Tenets of Faith

Nerull's faithful believe they will be rewarded for acts of murder, for every living thing is an abomination in the eyes of the Reaper.
Nerull is the patron deity of those who seek the greatest evil for their own enjoyment or gain. Most common folk do not worship or propitiate him, although they fear him greatly. It is believed that any form of appeasement will merely draw his attention, something that is at all costs to be avoided by the sensible. Nerull seems, in fact, to draw power from the very avoidance of his name. Some of the peasants of the lands do propitiate Nerull with minor rites, begging safe passage for the souls of the dead.
Nerull's clerics are feared throughout the lands as cold, calculating murderers. Named clerics of He Who Revels in the Slaying of the Living include Delglath, Jipzinker, Andrade Mirrius, Guiliana Mortidus, and Nezmajen. They are secretive and often solitary. When not in disguise, they dress in the same rust-red hue as the bones of their god.
Those who would become priests of Nerull must undergo an arduous initiation that climaxes in being buried alive for a time.
Services to Nerull are ghastly things performed in absolute blackness, featuring litanies of fear and suffering. Murder is done as a homage to the Reaper.
