Dolor

Dolor, the god of Death, ushers the spirits of the dead to the afterlife and is the protector of the natural order of life and death. He is a True Neutral god, and his favored weapon is the scythe. Clerics of Dolor can choose from the Death, Undeath, Repose, Healing, Deathbound, Decay, Life, Necromancer, Pestilence, and Renewal domains.

=Church= Dolor's churches are solemn cathedrals painted in drab colors. Dour, quiet, and unobtrusive are his clergy, who possess a deep and abiding respect for the dead. They can be relied upon to honor the deceased and perform for them all the necessary rituals and rites to pass on properly to the afterlife. Prayers to Dolor are performed with both palms pressed to the side of the face, and his clergy dress in either pure white, unmarked robes, or in night-dark gray. All carry the scytle-and-skull emblem of Dolor.

=Teachings= Dolor preaches that death is a natural part of the cycle of life, and that the cycle must remain in harmony. His clerics are accomplished healers, but they understand that they cannot save everyone and some are destined to pass on. They do not mourn the dead, but celebrate them, and help the families of the deceased cope with their passing. They always help families in need provide a coin to the deceased if needed, so their lost loved one can pay Charon's toll and ride upon the River Styx.

=Cults= It is rumored that cultists of Dolor form part of the Ebon Triad, a strange cult that seeks to combine IX, Magnus, and Dolor into an evil "overgod" to challenge the might of Him.
