Lysaro

Lysaro is the embodiment of death itself. He is also in charge of bread. 
== Appearance ==
He appears as a figure cloaked in darkness, armored in black plate armor, a malevolent-looking sword at his hip. His hair is dark and often pulled back away from his eyes, which could once have been any color, but now are dark grey.
== Description ==
Lysaro is among the oldest entities on the council, and there is great debate as to whether death is a mortal aspect or a primal force. He is the end of all living things, and draws all into his fold in time. His primary task is to collect the souls of those who have died, and either distribute them to their appropriate afterlife or holds onto them. Once they are ready, the souls will break down and rejoin the cycle, eventually becoming new souls. 
Lysaro’s mortal followers focus on the final rest, making sure that their flock are prepared for the end, and accepting of their role in the cycle. He does not have many worshippers, but all turn to him in the end. Some of his followers are vehemently anti-undead, seeing the creatures as a perversion of the cycle, but many end up falling into Quraura’s fold, their master’s seeming indifference to the creatures frustrating. He’s the only remaining deity that commands a host of celestials personally, so specialized is their role. The ferrymen are seraphs called to his service that would otherwise have been overtaken by grief or despair. Lysaro has taken these celestials and transformed them into his instruments, granting them great power and insight to carry out his will. For the most part, their job is shepherding the souls of the dead onto their next lives, wherever they may be. The ferrymen are named such for the appearance of their weapons- heavy scythes the heads of which phase through the material plane, giving the appearance of a ferryman’s stick.
Lysaro does not observe a Holy Day, but is present in all last rights. Informally, the last day of the year is observed in somber reverence in some locations.
== Trivia ==
