Lyrras

Lyrras, a name that has been begged countless times for mercy, and prayed to for longevity. And generous as he is, Lyrras has often answered these prayers with his blessing. Lyrras is seen to be the all-father of gods, most glorious of them all, but even though he is old, he is not the oldest. His older brother, Morrin, takes that title. He has long been in synergy with Morrin, working hand-in-hand with him. But it has not always been like that.

In the beginning of time, Morrin and Lyrras were seen as the true gods of life and death. However, another spirit, Locux, proved to have mastery over both. He was the lord of souls, and seemed to have as much power as Lyrras and Morrin combined. He could decide when to draw souls to the realm of the dead, and when not to. And thus, he was chosen to become the god of life and death together. However, after Locux was banished to The Netherworld for his crimes, Morrin and Lyrras returned to power. It took them many decades to undo what Locux had done, though.

At the current time, Lyrras remains as the commonly acknowledged king of the Aetherworld. He is revered by nearly every and all, mostly for his purpose of life, but his purpose of mercy has a significant influence as well. Lyrras' judgment plays a role in trials of criminals, just like Hrumalz, but Lyrras has a very small part at the end. After the ceremony to seek for Hrumalz's judgment, the priests will turn to Lyrras and ask if the accused is worthy of mercy. Hrumalz's purpose of justice and Lyrras' purpose of mercy tend to conflict on this point, but more often than not, they can come to an agreement.
