Thanatos was born at the dawn of time to create and hold dominion over the Underworld, the realm of souls. No spirit severed from its body can hope to escape the void that is His realm. Further, it is only through the minion Charon, under Thanatos' jurisdiction, that a soul can hope to return to life from the depths of the Underworld. Those who cross Him are rumoured to be subjected to horrendous torture behind the walls of a grim fortress. Those whom He favours, on the other hand, pass through the Underworld as nobles.

He pays little attention to the upper world, and is aloof even among the souls of His realm. As a result of this obscurity, His overriding goals remain unknown. From time to time He has actively sought the expansion of His realm through increasing the rate of death in the world. Yet other times He remains hidden away in His palace in the city of Dis. Thanatos is often perceived as a moody and brooding God, speaking rarely and tersely.

Shrine Appearance:
a shrine of Thanatos

A carved stone bowl rests here, cradled in the arms of a prostrate and faceless statue.

A faceless, featureless statue lies prostrate here, seemingly pleading with an unseen presence. In his arms is cradled a large stone bowl which is filled with a dark, unidentifiable liquid. The design upon the bowl is a simple yet dizzying series of nine concentric circles, on the inside of the bowl, ending just at the level of the contents. As you gaze into this liquid, your reflection gradually twists, then fades altogether, offering instead a view of a dark and ethereal city which your soul recognises as Dis, City of the Dead. After a moment the city fades as well, leaving only a vague impression rather than memory.
