Myrkul Nerull the Keeper

The god of darkness and death greedily hoards the souls of the dead for his own pleasure. He would end all life if Phlotus the Giver had not threatened to stop creating souls. He alone is able to waylay dead souls on their way to the Realm of the Dead and it is said that once in the Keeper's clutches a soul may never escape.
