This is a beautiful concept for a Death God by mikkeneko that is expanded on by honourablejester. A Death who is kind. And patient. And, before all and above all, inevitable. Reminds me of the work of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and also the Loving Reaper comics by Jenny Jinya. 🖤

“LORD, WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?”
Withers.
This seems to fit right in with that wonderful Odin/Valhalla story.
To double-down on the D&D theming – A Cleric of this type of ‘Death God’ would absolutely be a healer. BUT – They would ONLY heal, no reviving or otherwise ‘cheating’ death.
