Uldreth

''"When your time comes, will you face Death with confidence? Have you lived a life for the glory of the gods, or have you wasted it in sin and temporary pleasures?" - ''Condemnations 20:4-5

Known as the Reaper of Souls, The Grey Lord, Lord of Death or simply Death, Uldreth is the fifth child of the gods, twinned with Elyrial. It is Uldreth that collects souls when their time has come, reaping them like a crop, judging them and delivering them to either Heaven or Hel, for which he has the master key. In Nothir and Loktheiren traditions, he plays a chilling song on a bone pipe to lure souls to him.

Servants of Uldreth are concerned with the forces that cause death, as well as the negative energy that gives rise to undead creatures. Uldreth is a patron of necromancers, death knights, liches, and vampires. His domain also embodies murder, pain, disease and poison. However, Uldreth is not an evil god, he is neutral. Though some may twist his gift of mortality to evil ends, what Uldreth brings is ultimately necessary as life is merely a test for man to prove his love to Marpholones and the gods before being delivered, hopefully, to paradise. For this reason, there are even clerics of Death, although they are few and often creepy. The largest order of Death clerics is the Silent Order, who clean and lay to rest the bodies of the dead. Silent brothers and sisters mute themselves by removing their own tongues, to avoid the spirits of the dead they handle from speaking foul sorceries through them.
