=== Nerull's Message to [[Eve]] === | === Nerull's Message to [[Eve]] === | ||
When Nerull's own cleric [[Eve]] threatened to work together with acolytes of [[Helm]] and [[Lathander]] to bring back [[Pelor]], Nerull reached out to Eve, who had been trapped in [[The Mists]] and relayed this very personal threat.<blockquote>''In the forests of Isonhound, I am there. In the bloodied deserts of the ongoing kreen wars, I pick the flowers of the battlefield. I am what the dragons feared and what the gods respect. I give purpose to all.'' | When Nerull's own cleric [[Eve]] threatened to work together with acolytes of [[Helm]] and [[Lathander]] to bring back [[Pelor]], Nerull reached out to Eve, who had been trapped in [[The Mists]] and relayed this very personal threat.<blockquote>''In the forests of Isonhound, I am there. In the bloodied deserts of the ongoing kreen wars, I pick the flowers of the battlefield. I am what the dragons feared and what the gods respect. I give purpose to all.''</blockquote><blockquote>''When the first living thing walked Quelmar, I was there and waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job will be finished. I’ll put the chairs on the table, turn out the lights, and lock the realms behind me when I leave.''</blockquote><blockquote>''I’m not blessed. Or Merciful. I’m just me. I’ve got a job to do and I do it. Even as we speak I am there for the old and the young, the innocent and the guilty, those who die together and those who die alone. I am the embrace at the end.''</blockquote><blockquote>''Every morning, you either wake or you die. But now there is the third alternative. Life with death, death with life. Neither undead nor mortal, neither dead or alive.''</blockquote><blockquote>''We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us and we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.''</blockquote><blockquote>''You will not win.''</blockquote><blockquote>''You will not break me of my power.''</blockquote><blockquote>''I will hold life as I hold death.''</blockquote><blockquote>''And in time those who suffer the curse of life will understand it as I do. A disease. Death will be begged for. They will come to me, beg for my mercy, beg to feel the scythe. But I will say no. Their sacrifice is the realm's sacrifice. Their deaths will be the dragon's deaths.''</blockquote><blockquote>''And the gods will bow before my glory.''</blockquote><blockquote>''With the warmth in one hand and the cold on the other, I will be the almighty. Both the alpha and the omega.''</blockquote> | ||

Followers of Nerull were typically split into cults. Cults that operated in locations of high population, such as the Nerullian Cult of [[Galik]], were the groups most likely to encounter [[The Mists]], a dark fog that swallowed up murderers and other evil killers of the realm. As many Nerullians get caught up in the whims of these [[Dark Powers]], Nerull did eventually grant certain cults the secrets to the power to escape from the Mists. High Priests of Nerull could perform a costly ritual that returned Nerullian killers back to the Material Plane after they had been swallowed. | Followers of Nerull were typically split into cults.
