Bishop Of Death He of Greed
He/Him
The super cool and awesome ruler of faefield. He's super cool and you should totally give him all of your money and gift him shiny things. He is so generous that in exchange for this and your undying loyalty he will let you live on his land and will only tax you like- once a year!! And if you die you can totally have your relatives revive you for only a little bit of money which is totally required for the ritual and not something he made up to fund his lifestyle. He assures you that you will get no better deal from any bishop anywhere. So yeah, all in all pretty cool guy!

Fill out the rest of this in a bit I forgot how to describe landscapes whoops.
Long ago, in the time of the dinosaurs, Nymph was an orphan which sucks. He was also poor which also sucks so he became a follower of Kali because what the hell else are you supposed to do I guess. Experiencing the highs and lows of violently ransacking villages and murdering indiscriminately however, tends to weigh heavily on anyone with half a moral conscious after enough time. And so, one fateful night after experiencing a bought of a horrible sickness called "Empathy," Nymph decided to release one of the prisoners he was supposed to be guarding which was a stupid move as he was caught almost immediately. Forced to flee into the night, Nymph spent a time posing as a follower of Kali wherever his face was not known, making it his business to help those affected by Kali's cruel and ruthless reign.
It was soon enough that Nymph would find himself in the company of four other like-minded souls. In what I can only assume was a multi-year bout of insanity the group at some point decided they- a group of squishy mortals- would be the perfect candidates to take down the tyrant god who'd been fucking shit up for everyone for a couple hundred years. Anyway long story short they actually managed to pull it off against all odds and Nymph was granted a fraction of Kali's power in the form of a fancy new magic tiara. He was crowned the god of death and shepherd of the afterlife.
In the years following his ascension, he quickly settled in as the ruler of the vast plains of Faefield. He adorned himself in fine clothes and the most precious of jewels and began to tout himself as "Fairy King" in a divine display of hubris. Though his following remained more modest compared to some of his siblings due to his own greed, he maintained his following by offering a safe haven from many of the unsavory tendencies of the other cults, access to certain rituals not available to any other cult, as well as a promise of spiritual enlightenment in both life and in death.
Life was not all luxury and relaxation however as the duties of death are many and time consuming. There are a shit ton of souls hanging out in the In Between waiting to be brought to the spring of new beginnings to experience reincarnation and someone's gotta go get them. Unfortunately because of this Nymph was often busy collecting souls which fucking sucks because he'd 100% rather be making money and pampering himself but oh well maintaining the balance is important or whatever.
Life was good for a while. Until it wasn't. Apparently Nymph's bother, Solomon, was causing issues or whatever and some of his siblings decided to invite everyone over to try and kill him completely unbeknownst to Nymph. This sucked massive ass because Nymph was afflicted with fucked up arms and wings syndrome and Scalene was violently murdered. In the end Solomon was sealed away forever allegedly which also sucked because Nymph actually liked hanging out with Solomon and now all conversations following would be hella awkward.
Turns out trying to get rid of chaos forever is like trying to roll a massive boulder up a hill and just doesn't work out very well in the long run. The remaining bishops plus their silly new replacement Scalene received a prophecy that a rat would one day let Solomon out of the slammer and like normal, well adjusted people, Nymphs siblings quickly got to work trying to rid the land of all rats. Nymph, was like wtf and didn't do that (little did he know Fifi Savner was also killing rats behind his back whoops). blah blah blah you know the rest.
