Nach'Tarr is a member of the N'Ptalini Pantheon, revered as the god of Death, Darkness and Deliverance. He is one of the two sons of Y'Bathar and represents the caring, somber and spiritual side of N'Ptalini society.
==God of Death, Secrets and Deliverance==
It is unusual to revere a god of darkness as a positive deity. But Nach’Tarr is, if not exactly beloved, deeply respected and revered, second in importance only to Y'Bathar. His main duty is to gather up the souls (spirits, as some theologists insist) of the dead and lead them into the underworld, where they will exist in peace and harmony until the end of time. Similarly, he gathers up all things lost and forgotten, and cares for them as kindly as he would care for the dead. He is the master of all monsters and things that hide in the dark, and will protect his followers from them if they are worthy. Often, he is called the Lonely Mourner, as he stands by the graves of every forgotten creature, praising their life, mourning their passing, and guiding them into the long night. 
In stories, he is usually shown as implacably calm, patient, almost omniscient and rarely speaking. Mostly, he appears in legends to calm his raging elder brother Cor'Garun, and to act as voice of reason and compassion. When they disagree, he often concedes the short-term victory to Cor'Garun, knowing full well that he will literally have the last say.
He is also famous for being the one god who has never lied. 
Legends know of only one occasion where he was tempted to go into the underworld and bring back one of the dead, when his youngest daughter Lûn died. But even then did he uphold his own rules, reinforcing the image of being the most reliable of all gods.
