Mortivax

Mortivax is an enigmatic figure, dressed in simple robes that contrast starkly with the opulent attire often associated with deities. His features are softened by an air of empathy and humility, yet his eyes betray an ancient wisdom. His fingertips are stained a deep, ethereal blue, a mark of his ceaseless work in pulling souls from the River of Lunados.

While most gods engage in grandiose displays of power and politics, Mortivax leads a solitary existence, occupied with his self-appointed role as the Shepherd of Souls. He is known to speak only to the dead, guiding them through the afterlife and along the currents of the River of Lunados. Intriguingly, he also intervenes to pull souls whose time has not yet come, sending them back to the material realm to fulfill unfinished destinies.

Mortivax is revered by individuals who deal closely with death, be they morticians, clerics, or those who have lost and regained their lives. His following is small but fervently dedicated, often marked by the sharing of stories about loved ones who have passed, or miraculous returns from the brink of death.

The "Resurrection of the Fallen Heroes" stands as a significant event attributed to Mortivax. In a great battle against invading fiends, a group of heroes perished. However, each one returned to life, their fingertips tinged blue, to complete their quest and repel the invasion. This miracle significantly boosted Mortivax's reputation and became a story told to explain his mysterious ways.

Elira Nightveil, a cleric who once suffered a tragic death and was returned to life, serves as Mortivax's champion. She bears blue-tinted tattoos resembling Mortivax's stained fingertips, and she specializes in spells related to life and death.

Mortivax's quiet but impactful influence has garnered him deep respect among both mortals and immortals. His unique position as the Shepherd of Souls places him in an isolated but invaluable role among the gods, an existence marked by the humbling task of tending to souls in their most vulnerable moments.
