Death (outer god)

Death is both an idea and an outer god. Death is part of life: new life grows out of it, and power can be drawn from it. The god’s powers include death hexes, rings of spectral light, ghostflame, black flame and resurrection. Within the Golden Order it was represented by the Rune of Death, also called Destined Death.

You never meet it, but its followers are everywhere: Deathbirds, Death Rite Birds, Tibia Mariners, the Godskin Apostles, Fia, Deathbed Companion and many more.

Lore

All kinds of death drifted into the Lands Between, washing up on its old shores from somewhere far away. The outer god of Death held great power here long before the age of the Erdtree. The first grave keepers were the Tibia Mariners, who kept guiding the dead long after they themselves had withered. Since ancient times the dead were brought to the Gravesite Plain, where the oldest gravestones became spiritgraves before fading away.

Figures tied to Death include the Twinbird, the Gloam-Eyed Queen, the Prince of Death, Necromancer Garris, Charo, Usher of Death, Rosus and the long-ago lord Ensha.

Notes & tips

  • Death is opposed to Scarlet Rot, the cycle of decay and rebirth.
  • It is loosely linked to the eternal sleep of St. Trina.
