Mrtyu (Death’s Consort)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 316Everyone who dies has a final thought, a last word, an emotion swollen in the heart, or a feeling caught in the throat. For Mrtyu, a mortal soldier, those last words were a reflection on one thing: love. This was a final thought that intrigued the
Lady of Graves, for she had never seen its like before. She wooed the fallen soldier in the afterlife, and in growing to understand him, she understood the passions of all who live.
Mrtyu became Death’s Consort, the
psychopomp usher of poetry, trauma, and war. He cares for the souls of soldiers, murder victims, those who die gripped by their strongest emotions, and those who take their own lives. When a soul is too tormented for rest, Mrtyu feels their pain in his own heart when they rise from their graves. His realm, the Garden Anima, is a peaceful refuge within Pharasma’s Court where those who suffer traumatic deaths can contemplate and work to understand their fates in safety.
Within
the Universe, Mrtyu’s mortal cult is made up of soldiers, lovers, counselors, and single parents, and nearly all his faithful are poets of some description. Temples devoted to Death’s Consort can be found across battlefields and inside fortresses, gardens, and medical centers.
