Dhar
From The Ankyrean Archives
All that exists must eventually come to an end, and all that truly lives must die. In death lies the ultimate justice, for all are equal there, and earthly possessions and status hold no sway on judgment. The followers of Dhar will often pride themselves in dispatching swift justice, and can always be sought to be a balanced judge. As a farmer harvests his fields to collect what the season has produced, so does Lord Dhar harvest the soul, and that which is produced in the season of life is reaped. All that has been done will be accounted for.
A solemnity is kept among His followers, and often they will be quiet but well spoken. The beauty of silence is studied and observed, for one can only speak what they already know; only when ones listens can he learn. It is for this reason that disciples of Dhar are often known for their brevity.

Appearance
The air feels lifeless and dead in the presence of Dhar, the Underking.
He is a radiant Immortal and is wrapped in a flowing white cloak, a hood pulled over His head. The hem of the cloak hangs several inches above the floor revealing nothing beneath it as it flaps gently in a non-existent breeze. Long white hair hangs from beneath the hood, partially obscuring His face. The face beneath the hood is impossible to perceive, as it appears to be in a state of constant motion. No one feature remains the same for more than a moment, leaving any sense of personal identity completely missing. He is wearing:
a long, white cloak
Shrine Descriptions
Major Shrine Description
A large glowing golden hourglass with crossed scythes suspended above it stands here, two figures carved with their backs to it.
--
An old man with gray hair stands to one side of this statue, and a young girl stands weeping on the other. Their backs are turned from a large hourglass that rests between them. Two large scythes are crossed, suspended over the hourglass. The substance within the glass is flowing and turning with a bright gold shine, but has fallen completely from the top section into the bottom, indicating that whatever it was keeping the time for has expired.
Minor Shrine Description
A large winged hourglass hovers over an ornately carved pillar, a bright golden glow pouring from it.
--
Two large wings extend from a beautiful hourglass, flapping gently to keep it afloat. The golden substance within the glass has fallen completely into the lower chamber, and exudes a bright glow. The pedestal over which it hovers is engraved with the image of a farmer's scythe, it's blade resting on a cord. The cord trails down to the form of a man kneeling.
