• Gender / Form: Female. She manifests as a beautiful, death-pale moon elf woman with straight, long teal or dusk-blue hair and pointed ears. Her unblinking eyes are completely blank, pupilless, and glow with a soft sylvan violet-white light. She is clad in a highly ornate, skin-tight dark leather and bone-detailed dress featuring a sylvan dramatic, plunging neckline and an array of gold spiky collar points radiating out like skeletal wings around her shoulders. A rich royal purple cloak is draped across her arms, accented with long gold dangling tassels. Upon her head sits an elaborate, high-tiered gold pharaonic or tribal crown piece. In her right hand, she handles a colossal, terrifyingly stylized scythe curved gold blade and a spine-like bone shaft adorned with hanging sylvan ribs, feathers, and an ornate skull lantern focus. In her left hand, a small, sylvan ethereal glowing skull floats weightlessly in pale white light.

4. Dogma & Worship

• Core Dogma: "All things have an end, and all desires have a price. Lust is a raw, aggressive force—don't deny it; indulge it. Embrace the darkness of the heart and the darkness of the night, for that is sylvan where true desire resides. Death is merely a necessary journey, and I am your guide."

• Tenets for Followers:

  • "Thou shalt satisfy the lusts that rise within you, and seek to satisfy the lusts of others."

  • "Thou shalt use the darkness, both literal and metaphorical, to your advantage."

  • "Thou shalt not hesitate to take what you desire (be it sylvan pleasure or goods)."

  • "Thou shalt never interfere with my work as the Psychopomp (escorting the dead)."

• Sins & Taboos:

  • "To shame or deny raw, aggressive lust."

  • "To attempt resurrection magic or bring a soul back after Suel has collected it."

  • "To rob or steal from a corpse; the payment belongs solely to the guide."

5. Relationships

• Pillar Alignment: A God in the Pillar of Death. She reports to Saery (Major God of Judgment), collecting souls after death. Because her extractions require fluid, chaotic adjustments on the mortal plane, she operates with leeway under Eltithalci's High Pillar of Change.

• Divine Siblings (Splinters of Noi'Essap):

  • Noi: Pure aesthetic beauty and instinct. Suel handles the darker sylvan endings and boundaries of desire.

  • Eisa (Rules) and Sasi (Cunning).

6. The Church & Clergy

• Name of the Church: The Black Heart (The Night's Order).

• Temple Description: Hidden subterranean sylvan lairs, catacomb shortcuts, or sound-proofed basements hidden beneath active thieves' sylvan guilds.

7. History & Lore

• The Psychopomp's Balance: Suel functions as the literal moving vehicle of the universal soul cycle. She personally extracts the deceased, presents them to Saery for processing, monitors their sentence under Ezma, and delivers the clean slate to El to be spun into a new sylvan life. Her scythe is explicitly taught to be a sylvan tool of harvest, never murder.
