'''Vaelaren''' <small>(PRONOUNCED:</small> <small style="color:blue;">/vayl-ɑr-in/</small><small>)</small> has long existed before the first thought came into being. Waiting deep in The Void, Vaelaren has no beginning and no end. Those who lay upon the precipice of the land of the dead describe being visited by a beautiful angel with a veiled face, who had come as a peaceful guide, ensuring each soul is sent to the correct plane in the afterlife. Vaelaren is the hub of the wheel between life and death, the final arbiter of fate, able to see every event between the birth and death of the universe. Although feared and respected by mortals and gods alike, Vaelaren is truly neutral, dealing out each judgment with compassion.

===Description===
Vaelaren's avatar appears as a human with a long dark, trailing vestment draped upon its near-skeletal body. Over its head is a crown and veil to cover the god's features, leaving only the nose, mouth, chin, and neck exposed. Finally, extending from Vaelaren's back are a set of wings, upon which are its many eyes.

===Relationships===
Not much of Vaelaren is known as all information is speculative or hearsay from those who have undergone a near death experience. As a neutral-aligned god of death, Vaelaren is assumed to be on good terms with all deities. Vaelaren takes no allies. The gods fear and respect Vaelaren - though that does not mean an enterprising deity may not attempt to slip past a few crimes against the God of Death. Mortals generally have either positive or neutral opinions about Vaelaren.

===Realm===
Vaelaren's home, [[The Void]], is a vast plane of peaceful nothingness. A singularity in the center of reality. The Void is from where all life came and where it shall all return. Although, Vaelaren can reshape this plane to appear and be in any way that is desired. Some scholars believe that The Void neighbors the [[Vale of Shadows]], while others believe The Void to be Hell itself. Ultimately, no-one agrees and none have ever returned with that information.

===Worshipers===

Clergy of the Veil, as they are known, maintain many duties across the world. Tasking themselves with providing a proper burial for those who died and received none. To undertake the last wishes of the dying, that their soul may pass on in peace. And the most important duty of all, the destruction of undeath. The elite priests (specialty priests, clerics, and paladins) are known as [[Vaelatus]] (pl. Vaelatum). Servants of Vaelaren are typically clad in gray vestments and brandish a mace.
