Vishraki

Death

Depicted as a great black Panther with Feline eyes of the deepest emerald, and as a woman with a feline head bearing the same fur and eyes as her animal form.  In humanoid form she is depicted wearing a white toga embroidered with gold over her black fur.  Vishraki is known to hold a sextant in one hand and a book in the other, she uses the sextant to help guide the souls of the dead, and the book to keep track of those who should be dead and where they should be headed.  It’s believed Vishraki sends cats as guides to the dead, as a result cat’s are thought to be able to scare off undead, specifically ghosts and shadows.  Undead are anathema to Vishraki as they pervert the natural order, and desecrate the dead.

• Worship:  Temples of Vishrak exist in every major civilization, they act as funeral homes, helping sanctify the corpse, and offering grief counseling.

• Offerings: People don’t offer Vishrak offerings, instead they light candles for the dead, hoping to help light their way on the path that comes after. Donations are also made for the services of helping with the dead and those who remain.

The Two Divine Pillars of Vishraki

• Dungeon 1: Silent Sepulcher

A seemingly endless maze of the dead, silence, with Shades to guard

• Dungeon 2: Withering Grove

A forest, a zone of anti-magic, dark, and a black poisonous miasma, with spiders, that leads to the Mausoleum of Forgotten kings guarded by constructs of shadow and steel
