Zephos, God of the Dead, Shepherds
Shepherd of the Dead, The Shepherd
Enworldian Greater Deity
Symbol: A Crossed pair of Shepherds Crooks
Home Plane: ???
Alignment: Lafwul Neutral
Portfolio: Death, Shepherds, Leadership
Worshippers: Morticians, Shepherds, Leaders, those who've lost someone close.
Cleric Alignments: LG, LN, LE
Domains: Repose, Law, Protection, Travel
Favored Weapon: Shepherds Crook (Quarterstaff)
Note: Worshipers of Zephos always Turn undead (even Evil ones), and may never command or summon undead.
Zephos, Shepherd of the Dead, and Husband of Halina (Though they do not claim to have any children together). Zephos is also refered to simply as The Shepherd (capitol T, capitol S). Zephos is worshiped as the one who collects the souls and leads them to the afterlife, much like a shepherd leads his flock of sheep. Souls under the care of Zephos are protected from harm, and lead when it is time onward. When a soul is recalled, Zephos resists only the unnatural calling of undeath.
Zephos followers regard the undead as abominations and a mockery of their beliefs, and therefore all turn undead and refuse to raise or control them in any way. Priests of Zephos who do are immediately outcast from the priesthood, and many loose their connection to their deity.
Zephos is also looked upon with respect by Shepherds and other animal herders, and worshiped by them as well. Much like Zephos leads his souls, his worshipers lead their flock (people or animals), giving them proper direction and guidance, and keeping them safe from harm and outside influences.
Those wishing to offer their friends and loved one safe passage will often offer some small donation to Zephos, and many will bury or burn their bodies with a small bit of wool, to attract the attention of The Shepherd.
