Withers

Withers was the name given to a mysterious being that was interred within an ancient temple of Jergal on the Sword Coast and who remained there until the late 15 century DR.
==Description==
Withers appeared as a decrepit humanoid corpse, partially wrapped in bandages and clothed in priestly garments, wearing a unique form of metallic adornment across its head and chest. To those attuned as such, Withers gave off an aura of both divinity and eternal, inescapable death.
==Abilities==
Withers was capable of "mending the threads" between life and death, in effect offering a form of resurrection.
He possessed an aspect of divine power, comparable to that of a god's chosen.
Withers could not be injured by attacks. He stated, "Fate has not declared mine injury. Therefore it shall not occur."
==Possessions==
He carried a simple quarterstaff.
==Activities==
In Withers' own words he was an "arbiter of certain matters" and a "servant to obligation".
