'''Thoth, the Endbringer''' was the [[Elder Gods|Elder God]] known as the Inevitable, Lord of Souls, Master of [[Death]], and Guardian of the Soulrealms. Thoth was slain by Prince [[Slith]], Lord of the Undead Legions in the year 715 AF. | |||
He was reputed to be a reclusive and bitter deity, aloof in all things mortal. He served as Guardian, Caretaker, and Collector of the Souls of the dead. The Lord of Death greeted all departed souls and leads them into the eternal realms of the Soul. Being neither Evil nor Good in nature, the Lord of Death accepted all mortal souls into His realms regardless of their actions in those brief preparatory moments called "life." | |||
The | Those that tried to gain His attention by causing needless destruction and loss of life found themselves ill-served. He cared not for such ways. The souls of lives that are cut short did not benefit Him nor His Realms, and those who caused these things to come about could earn His emnity. As in life, that fleeting, uncertain preliminary to all who entered the realms of Lord Thoth, so too in death there must be purpose. | ||
Lord Thoth intended that all living complete the full and unavoidably brief terms appointed to their lives, secure in the inevitable reality that they would all come to face Him. One who lived a full life would leave his mortal coil with no regrets, embarking on the final journey with Him to the Soulrealms. According to Thoth, mortals should heed this warning and live each day as though it were their last. | |||
It was in the past that Thoth would judge souls and grant salvation to those who EMBRACE DEATH after being separated from their mortal coil, leading them into the [[Halls of Thoth]], which had been previously stewarded by other Divine, within the [[Halls of Sarapis]] and the [[Halls of Maya]] until She divested Her Divinity in 613 A.F. to defeat [[Bal'met]]. After the Demise of Thoth in 715 A.F., this task was appointed to [[Ugrach]], the Aldar. | |||

There is no notable history for Thoth. (This is patently false.) | |||
Lord Thoth | == The Qui'anar == | ||
While Lord Thoth cared not for matters of mortal consequence, He spent some of His vast attention on a group of mortals that He called His children. His Order was known as the [[Qui'anar]], in honour of the original Qui'anar that fell on [[Nishnatoba]] during the [[War of Humanity]]. A cult of assassins, warriors, priests, and prophets, they served to further His influence. They were granted Soulstones and appointed as Guardians of the Soulrealms, able to open gateways through soul fountains, leading to the [[River Styx]], collectively known among themselves as the Fold. Also of note amongst His followers were the hired killers of the [[Quisalis Mark]]. While cloaked in mystery and intrigue, His realm was clear to those who followed Him. Many questions were answered by the souls of the dead. | |||
The Lord of Death | == Divine Symbols == | ||
