High Priest Erudite
High Priest Erudite is tall and imposing, neat hair and curling horns, his dark blue skin appearing almost black in the dim candlelight. His features, usually kind during his sermons and lectures, are now twisted with rage. His lips are pursed, his tail flicks angrily, and in his hand he holds the ancient scroll that he wrested from Ryuk's clawed fingers back in the library. A dozen other monks have stumbled out of bed and gathered round in a circle, wide eyed and curious to find the cause of the shouting, but Ryuk has eyes only for the scroll.Erudite is the High Priest of the Cult of Hermaeus Mora.
"Ryuk," spits Erudite, "you have defied me – and Hermaeus Mora himself – in your pursuit of dark and forbidden knowledge. We raised you as our own, taught you the holy ways, and you spit in our face like this."
His words echo in the arched cathedral, reverberating with a quiet but terrible fury, and he slowly raises his other hand. His fingers ignite, tiefling blood running hot with infernal fire, and he raises them to the scroll. The parchment catches alight within moments. The palpable fury and sorrow in Ryuk's scream echoes painfully loud. Erudite watches on with a hardened gaze.
"You are banished. May Hermaeus Mora strike the knowledge of breath from you."
