Illumos

The god of the dead is a powerful, lawful neutral god within The Many. He is the god of death and life, a role he shares with Elrohin. The distinction is that Illumos is the god of starting and ending life, while Elrohin is more the god of living life. For most people, the distinction is lost and Elrohin is prayed to for fertility and births, and Illumos is thought to look after the dead. Among theologians, it is understood that Illumos' real portfolio is over souls and destiny. He forges new souls, places them into the newly born, and collects them at the end of life for reasons unknown. Only the most exemplary souls are known to be kept by Illumos for long after death and nearly all of those are reformed into angels, demons, or one of the lesser choir.

Clerics of Illumos are extremely rare. They are known to be a grim kind of person, taking and protecting life as instructed by vague omens from their distant god. A cleric of Illumos who enters a town is just as likely to slay someone as heal the sick before fading once again into the wilderness. There are rumors and legends of an organization of [The Deathless|paladins] that serve this god, but there is no confirmation of this.

Order Infallible
Illumos is the most powerful being in existence other than Change Eternal. His role as the god of life and death is really a secondary task in comparison with his role as the source of all existence and the god of fate. He plots and schemes to perpetuate the existence of reality, one of the few tasks that beyond his direct power. Illumos hides most of his power within a device known as The Register which allows him to create more effective change by creating some semblance of free will for the overgod.
