Yahkuz



The Fallen, The King of the Dead

Description of character
Yahkuz is generally patient. His afterlife has given him much peace to rule over the dead. He likes to have discussions over life and death. With this he looks kindly upon scholars as he himself is a great lover of knowledge. Though he is the god of death he does not ravage the battlefields in order to find new warriors to fight in the afterlife. Instead he grants mortals peace in the afterlife, like sleep after so many years of hardship. Truly there are deeper pits in the afterlife, but those are reserved for people of much greater sin. Though Yahkuz is peacefull he will become unstoppable and fearsome. An angered King of the Dead is a god who will then rain down death without mercy using his power to summon the armies of his kingdom.

Manifests as:
Yahkuz prefers to manifest himself as an old man wearing simple black robes and a chain around his waist. On that chain there is a simple dagger, it looks like something a simple merchant might have on him. He has a wearisome look to him and the features of his face look tired and aged. His cheeks are hollow and he has thin, colourless lips. Probably the most displeasing characteristics about him are the dark bottomless eyes resting atop a crooked nose and his deep voice. His voice has a slighty otherwordly feel to it. Even with this lofty robe he looks very thin and his crooked, long-fingered hands are usually hidden under the long dark sleeves of his robe.

Yahkuz is symbolized by black dogs and skulls.
