Tád
Tád, the Death Herald
Tád, the Death Herald, also known as 'Son of Life, King of Wilt' and 'Ataraxia Domini' was the god of death. His dogma teaches people in accepting death and that which comes with it. Created by the goddess of life Erui, Tád was instructed to safeguard the cycle of life and prevent any creation of the gods from overstaying their welcome and thereby upsetting the balance of the world.
Divine Appearance
The general depictions of Tád paint him as a faceless skeleton shrouded in robes. His bony hands resemble the purest marble white and are set with rings that shine when cast in light. Tád often carried with him an item known as 'The Eternal Hourglass' and is followed by a small bipedal black cat that carries a ledger in its hands. Despite the grim depiction of his form, Tád is often heralded as a bringer of peace and serenity.
The Journey
Often when people near the end of their life, or have passed through resurrection they mention seeing the robed figure of Tád and his trusty scribe nearby. While it is unclear what exactly their presence means, it is suspected that this appearence of Tád is actually the god or his servants judging the amount of life left by the person's personal hourglass. Witnessing this event is often called 'Making the Journey' or 'The Journey' for short. In essence it signifies passing the gauntlet of death or returning for a second chance, if it is granted.
