Thistle

Demigod of Rebirth. 
               The demigod Thistle is killed at midnight every night by a hex of death inflicted on him by Zoth, who saw his ability to reincarnate and regenerate as a mockery of life. However, Thistle is simply reborn again every morning. He is the son of the God of Death, Myrtu, and he has mastery over the permanency of death. 
               Thistle is a vain god, and he requires that his people, the Quetzl, celebrate his rebirth as a holiday every single day. The Quetzl are tall, slender bird people with long, elegant plumage and regenerative properties. Thistle is innately tied to the Coatl, a blackened humanoid birdman that must kill every single day in order to survive. If this creature is killed, Thistle could die.
