	According to Legend, Brashq brought the full force of his vengeance upon his father [[Surdem]] after learning that his twin brother Sendall had been cast out of the Pantheon. Brashq bound his father to the Last Gate, transforming <i>Hajinn</i> into an unbreakable chain (a mimic of the Chain of Fate that Surdem favored as a weapon), reforged by restless souls who felt betrayed by the god of Death. Brashq took the Crown of Thorns from his father and assumed the mantle of god of Undeath, rising to infamy.

		+	Created during the runic era, the Xirsz Phsygn was designed to collect the souls of the dead and transfer their power to the wielder. The Cradle may have been dedicated to the God Surdem, but records no longer remain to confirm or deny the claim. Based upon its more recent written information (pulled from the archives of Lord Savant Arden Krueler) the artifact is associated with Brashq. It is said to have been physically returned to him in 983 LD. The artifact is now considered Lost.

 Brashq has been many things through the ages. He name reviled in the ancient texts, damned in the Golden Age and, beyond all expectation, embraced by a few small circles here and there in the present. It would honestly fail to surprise me if he became something else entirely in the future, wholesome or otherwise. Yet, after a good deal of research on the subject, I believe that the God of Vengeance, Undeath, and now Guide of the People stands for something more profound. Veracity perhaps or more a paradoxical conundrum; Mortality.

-<i>So many seek immortality, but only the fools take the route of undeath.  I will not judge all of those trapped in that terrible state, for not everyone has a choice, but to follow the god of Undeath is folly.  I do not have to meet the god in order to know his twisted evil.  I have seen it in the walking dead that cry for release.  Witnessed it in the hollow eyes of shambling skeletons that should be resting peacefully in graves.  I have stared it down in the hungry red eyes of vampires, and seen the terrible price they must pay.</i>

 ==Portfolio==
-To be dead and walk amongst the living, that is the realm of Brashq.  Every walking dead, every shambling shell, every immortal vampire is a tribute to his evil, whether they wish it or not. Brashq controls every aspect of ‘life’ after death.  He stands waiting amid the stream of souls, seeking those spirits who want another chance to live, were not ready to die, or seek power.  He comes to them in a hansom skin, and whispers to them promises of a life where they will never die again.  Once they accept the Faustian deal is sealed and the subject returns as the living dead, a macabre tribute to the god of Undeath.
+	Once in command of the realm of Undeath, Brashq has taken up the mantle of Vengeance, Questions, and ‘The Path’. Where he walks people will be stirred into action, taking up arms against those who have done them wrong and demanding answers. He drives others to seek resolution.
 ==Followers==
-Followers of the god of Undeath seek to become more like their god and gain life unending.  True necromancers rally behind his flag, and priests preach of long lasting life and beauty that never fades.  Living sacrifices to the god grant blood blessings, and service can lead to vampirism or even lichdom.  Some try to trick the god into granting them undeath, but Brashq is a patient god, and more than willing to wait for the newly undead to begin wishing they had chosen a different route before enslaving them.  One can taste of the poisoned fruit, but they will still die.
+	Brashq no longer seeks out followers in the way he once did. His followers are now few and far between. They are wanderers who have lost their way, or those who have dedicated themselves to helping others find a path; good or evil. They are always intelligent humanoids.
 ==Appearance==
-Brashq appears first to beings along the stream of souls, stepping forward in the form of a well-kept man in a suit, making his first offer.  For the soul who looks close though, they will see through the weak façade the evil god puts up.  He likes nothing more than for the unsuspecting to realize who his is.  The smooth face peels away revealing the grim skull of the god.  The gods voice is silky smooth and his body appears to be in various stages of decay. Oftentimes half of the face is revealed to the onlooker, but it is more than enough to glimpse the cruel yellow glow that burns deep in the god’s eye sockets, tempting them down a path that will lead to unending life and sure damnation.
+	Brashq appears as a figure in tattered black robes. A wind appears to push the robes toward those who look at him, and the fringes seem to beckon the viewer to step closer. He holds a great Scythe at the end of which hangs a bright white lantern. The lantern does not illuminate the face beneath the robes.
 ==Burial Rites==
-The burial rites of Brashq were found upon a plaque hidden within the ever-changing temple of bone.  They read as a poem and leave much to the imagination
+Brashq makes no demands of his followers when it comes to the burial of the dead.

		+	During Saratta's [[Calgan\|“Golden Age”]], Brashq overthrew his father as the god of Death and took the Crown of Thorns from him. Brashq would later loose the crown to Marisse in a bet, and commit the Artifact to the mortal realm.

		+	Brashq is said to be responsible for starting the Tribes of Four conflict when he used his godly power to reach into Saratta and destroy on of his own places of power when a group of mortals drew the attention of [[Balphurus]] and [[Telraedye]], each who were seeking a foothold within the god's domain. Such displays of power are forbidden among the gods, and required an act of penance. Brashq has been attempting to gather Artifacts to be returned to their rightful places since the event, leading many gods to stake claims on Artifacts that may or may not be their own.

 	His name, and references to his ancient aspect are still contained inside forgotten reliquaries, etched permanently into stone.  In these aged halls there once existed great assassins guilds (The [[Fang of Septra]], [[Gauntstone]], and the [[Pale Claw]] to name a few).  It is said that these guilds could hear the call of their master from anywhere in the world and could bring act out ones desires with but a thought.  The guilds fell apart when Brashq seemed to stop speaking to them.
