The Elder Vale

The most commonly cited example of the deities of the Mehit Nang, The Elder Vale is almost a cross between a god and an afterlife to the Nang. According to the religion of the Nang, when an individual sees the Elder Vale while meditating, it is an omen of their coming death, at which point the Vale will consume their soul to live eternally within it. Those who see the Vale are granted time to get their affairs in order, free of responsibility, and to prepare themselves for the funeary rites of all Nang once they die.
Due to visions of the Vale being seen as a sign of coming death, suicidal individuals among the Nang are called "Vale-Seekers," though no stigma is attached to the title. Vale-Seekers instead receive care from other Nang devoted to The Ceaseless Black (widely considered some of the finest mental health experts in the system), in the hopes they will turn from their seeking ways and allow life to guide them down its intended path once more.
The Vale's Godmark is perhaps one of the more dramatic godmarks in the system. Those who bear it have a crown of "pointed" stones perched upon their head at all times, though it does not weigh a thing to the bearer. These stones seem to "flutter" when the individual moves rapidly, and will adjust themselves to rest atop any other headwear the individual chooses to wear.
Those Godmarked by the Vale gain +1 to concentraion checks that are not related to spellcasting, and a +1 to saving throws to avoid physical ability score damage. However, every time someone Godmarked by the Vale fails a saving throw to stabilize while dying, they take a cumulative -1 penalty to their next roll.
Oracles of the Elder Vale tend to suffer from the Aged curse.
