The causes appear to be natural, but given the timing and the person, I cannot rule out foul play.  \nBefore he passed, he gave a brief account of what he knew about the rise and fall of the god of death. I have transcribed his remarks and included them with this letter. Given its source, this information should be taken with a grain of salt, but it is intriguing nonetheless. I’ve taken the liberty of removing the extraneous homilies and adulationsin the transcription. (If I ever hear the phrase,“Praise be to his unholy name and the encroaching darkness” again, it will be far too soon.) In addition, I have edited the profane names used in reference to the Raven Queen, since they are not fit for printing.  \nI hope you find this manuscript as enlightening as I did.  \nCordially yours, Nimozaran the Green Septarch’s Tower, Fallcrest  \nGod reaper  \nForsaken dead, stay in your tombs, Forsaken dead, stay in your crypts, Nerull shall bind you, bind you in blood.  \n—Hymn of Nerull  \nIn the earliest days of creation, when gods still walked the land alongside mortals and the Dawn War had just begun, Nerull—a clever and ruthless human wizard—became one of the first nonelves to learn arcane magic from Corellon. His newfound power soon drew him into the war against the primordials. After one particularly gruesome battle, Nerull looked over the fields filled with corpses and cursed at those who had allowed themselves to pass into death, avoiding the duty of preserving creation against annihilation. Retreating back to his study, he spent months brooding over issues of mortality and the threat of the elementals.  \nDuring this withdrawal, the mage first began his studies of the dead and their uses. He discovered that death need not be the end ofa body’s usefulness, and magical energy could bestow a semblance of life upon a lifeless corpse. He further determined that such magic could bind the soul to service, either in a body or without one. Rooted in Nerull’s desire for the fallen to rejoin the war against the primordials, these discoveries became the foundation for the necromancy school of magic.  \nOverjoyed at his discovery, Nerull reached out to Aurom, god of the dead. The mage proudly presented his discoveries, which he believed could constitute a turning point in the Dawn War. Aurom rejected the findings, claiming that death was a part of the natural cycle that should not be breached. Little did Aurom know how much that rejection would cost him.  \nTM & © 2013 Wizards of the Coast LLC. All rights reserved. September 2 01 3 | DRAGON 4 27 9  \nChannel Divinity: Nerull  \nIncensed that a god would throw away such a tool, Nerull approached other deities with his new discoveries. Each deferred to Aurom’s judgement. With each rejection, Nerull’s rage grew. He gathered his armies and, just after another battle against the primordials, Nerull attacked the god of the dead. Already wounded, Aurom fell to Nerull’s surprise assault. Seizing Aurom’s fleeing power, Nerull laid claim to the portfolios of death and the dead.  \nrise and faLL  \nThe other deities were shocked. Never before hada mortal killed a god, and many still did not understand the necromantic arts that Nerull had mastered. Before the pantheon could reach an agreement on what to do about this new god of death, Nerull offered up Aurom’s other portfolios to be divided among the other deities, thus securing a place among them. Nerull saw the gods’ acquiescence to his seizure of divinity as a sign of weakness, brought on by fear of the power he wielded.  \nWhile the gods battled the primordials for control of the world, Nerull’s lust for power grew insatiable. The new god of the dead believed he could become king over all the gods. Eager to swell the ranks ofthe souls bound to his realm (known as Pluton), Nerull scourged the mortal creatures of the world wit","cbCaidG44Hsmq8b8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidG44Hsmq8b8","pdf",967283,"English","# Channel Divinity: Nerull\n## Rise of Nerull\n## Necromancy and the rejection by Aurom\n## Nerull becomes god of death\n## The fall and the fate set by the gods","[{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator suspect foul play after Nerull’s priest dies?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator says the causes appear natural, but the timing and the person make it impossible to rule out foul play.\"},{\"question\":\"What discoveries does Nerull make that lead to necromancy?\",\"answer\":\"He concludes that death does not have to end a body’s usefulness, and that magical energy can animate lifeless corpses and bind souls to service.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Nerull’s conflict with Aurom escalate into Nerull’s rise?\",\"answer\":\"Aurom rejects Nerull’s necromantic tool, and each later rejection increases Nerull’s rage until Nerull attacks Aurom, seizing the portfolios of death and the dead.\"}]","Channel Divinity - Nerull | PDF",1791237023,12]
