Nephatos

Overview
"'You know most people should have died from that and in truth you did. But I just found it so funny I'll give you another chance at it.' -Nephatos"Nephatos is the whimsical God of Death. In order to become a faithful of Nephatos, you have to have a near death experience before you can enter his clergy. Nephatos' title is Sir Snake Eyes to reflect his playful attitude towards death, although his title is never spoken disrespectfully for fear of incurring his ire.Followers of Nephatos typically sport his symbol on an ouroboros designed coin. This is further differentiated by the color of the eyes and the color of the ouroboros. Red eyes within a white ouroboros indicates an initiate within the church. Green eyes show they are his clerics. Blue eyes indicate antipaladins. Gray eyes for inquisitors. The ouroboros changes back to a black color when the devoted follower has reached the level of grand master. If one ever sees white eyes within a black ouroboros this indicates the person is a chosen of Nephatos.

Clerics of Nephatos often preside over funerals in conjunction with other clerics if the person in question worshiped another deity. They also have a predilection for gambling as a consequence of worshiping the God of Death. Inquisitors are rarely seen and it's not quite certain what the inquisitors are responsible for. Some of them claim that they're charged with investigating churches that have fallen to the influence of Kaladrin or Paleran. Others have said that their only instruction was to go do what they felt was right until they died or got different orders. Antipaladins of Nephatos are fanatics that are often referred to as his enforcers. They relentlessly hunt down people who defile the sanctity of death as they put it and remove them by any means necessary. Antipaladins of Nephatos are known to fight each other over their judgement calls and as a result most of them operate discreetly because they can't even trust their fellow faithful.
