Moruun
Moruun was a major god in the Thauzunian Orthodoxy, associated with death, passage, and the proper conclusion of life. In pre-Fall belief, Moruun was not feared as a bringer of death nor revered as a punisher of the wicked. Instead, he represented death as a necessary function of order: the point at which life ended and continuity moved forward. Death under Moruun was not viewed as tragedy or judgment, but as transition, regulated and inevitable.
Orthodox doctrine held that Moruun governed proper death. This included the timing, recognition, and acceptance of mortality rather than the act of killing itself. Violence and execution were matters of law and war; Moruun’s authority began when life ceased. His domain ensured that the dead did not linger, return, or disrupt the living order. Undeath, unnatural preservation, or attempts to reverse death were understood as violations of cosmic structure rather than moral offenses, and were believed to fall outside acceptable existence.
Moruun was closely tied to burial practices, death rites, and the formal acknowledgment of loss. Pre-Fall teachings emphasized that a death unrecognized or improperly concluded created instability—not spiritual horror, but social and institutional disruption. Funerary rites were therefore treated as acts of order, ensuring that the dead were accounted for, named, and released from the systems of the living. Moruun was considered impartial and unresponsive to prayer; death was not something to be negotiated.
All knowledge of Moruun is entirely absent from post-Fall Vey’Zari society. No confirmed references, inscriptions, funerary texts, symbols, or oral traditions survive. The Thauzunian Orthodoxy itself is unknown to modern populations, and with its collapse, all structured understanding of Moruun vanished. His name does not appear in contemporary religion, myth, philosophy, or mortuary practice.
As a result, Moruun is not remembered, worshiped, debated, or reinterpreted in any form. There are no surviving cults, degraded myths, or symbolic continuities associated with him. To modern Vey’Zari, Moruun is not a forgotten god but an entirely unknown one, recoverable only through speculative reconstruction of pre-Fall religious systems rather than through any living tradition or cultural memory.
