Religions :: Morr Morr, the Dark Angel, is one of the gods of the Ebon Triumvirate. He never appears to the living, appearing only to his faithful at the moment of their death, guiding them through the transition. He is said to be a beatific figure, with feathered wings and golden hair. His eyes, however, are completely black, without whites or iris. This is referred to by his faithful as the "Ever-Seeing Eye," the Eye of Death that sees the moment of every creature's passing. He has many servants, also appearing as Angels of Death, who go and collect the spirits at the moment of their dying. Morr is the god of dying, that intrinsic moment of the spirit leaving the body and life slipping away. No creature can die without Morr or one of his Dark Angels guiding them through the passage. There are two branches of the faithful of Morr -- usually referred to as the Light and Dark Morr. The Light clergy believe that death is a part of life, and should be met bravely and with honor. They tend to the sick and the dying, hoping to ease their last moments and bring them calm. The Dark clergy believe that with each creature they send through the transition, their lord gains power. So they are a cult of foul assassins, prone to poison and many other ways of dealing a quick and brutal death. The two branches of clergy have been battling since their inception. There are some clergy who walk the middle path, neither seeking out to help the dying or seeking out new creatures to slay, but these few wanderers are regarded as strange by both branches. Morr's symbol is a stylized representation of the Ever-Seeing Eye, a black, pointed ellipse surrounded by a circle that does not touch it. Allowed worshipper alignment: any
