Muerralyth, Goddess of Death
Domains & Aspects:
Death, peace, time, spirits that guide the dead, hourglasses, beauty, rest, relief.
Symbols:
A raven carrying a rose, white butterfly or moth with a skull on its body; a black orchid with a silver-blue flame in the center over an hourglass.
Realm:
The Argent Sepulcher, an endless, serene expanse bathed in soft hues of twilight and silver-blue. Vast meadows of pale flowers glow under an eternal dusk sky where stars shimmer like drifting souls. Rivers of silver-blue light flow randomly across the land. Gentle forests of black-barked trees with silvery leaves whisper like chimes in the wind. Ravens, crows, ethereal moths, luminous butterflies, along with death guide spirits and fae are scattered through out. At the heart is The Silver Repose, Muerralyth’s personal sanctum that rests upon a quiet island at the center of a vast, still lake of silver starlight. The sanctuary itself is a cathedral like structure of white marble veined with moonstone and glass that seems to shimmer like frozen dew. Towering arches hold luminous lanterns with eternal silver-blue flames, while intricate hourglasses of crystal float gently in the air, turning themselves endlessly.
Personality:
Muerralyth is one of the deities of death and the spirits that guide souls to where they belong. She radiates a tender serenity, her voice as soft as a lullaby and her presence as calm as moonlight on still water. She is endlessly patient and infinitely kind, offering comfort to those who fear the end. She speaks gently, never rushing, her words often carrying the rhythm of poetry. To the living, she is a reminder that life’s beauty is heightened by its impermanence, to the dead, she is a hand of compassion guiding them beyond. To encounter Muerralyth is to feel sorrow lifted, replaced with a deep, luminous peace.
Appearance:
She resembles an elegant elven woman, with long, wavy, black hair, nearly pale white very slightly blue tinted skin, icy blue eyes with a glow, two sets of black angelic wings, wears a black cloak adorned with large black feathers over a black dress, seen with a scythe and longsword during battle.
