Shrouded in the vestiges of his former glory, Sleer embodies the desolation of the Shadowfell. His visage, etched with the lines of ancient grief, is crowned with a tangle of bone-like protrusions, a throne-like halo that speaks of his lost kingship. Adorned with a tapestry of skeletal remains and draped in the regalia of decay, he stands as a testament to the heartache and despair that pulsate through the dark realm he once ruled.
Sleer's tale is woven with the threads of betrayal and usurpation. Once a mighty king, his throne was wrested from him by Morgath, leaving him a sovereign without a realm. Yet, in his fall, he found a new kingdom within the sorrow of the world. He is a figure of contemplation and quiet power, his aura one that affects not just the denizens of the Shadowfell, but all who know the depths of despair.
In the pantheon of shadowy gods, Sleer's presence is as comforting as it is mournful, offering a solemn sanctuary to those souls weighed down by the sorrows of lifetimes. His followers are those who have endured great losses, finding solace in his dominion of grief. They worship not with joyous songs but with somber dirges and the silent homage of their tears.
Sleer's realm is a place where the sorrowful may find understanding, and perhaps, in the depths of their shared melancholy, a kind of dark peace. His is a realm where the beauty of sorrow is recognized as a powerful force, as integral to life as joy, and as inevitable as death itself.
