The Slain God, once known as Ossir in the True Speech, is
believed to have incarnated Union between all living minds. Mortals know little
more of him than this. The Slain God was clairvoyant and wise, and he and King
Fatherhood loathed one another for millennia. In secret,
Fatherhood had the sword Inartan forged, the first of all weapons,
and he used it on his brother-god. Union died that day, and Death
himself was born.
Before he became Death, the Slain God was husband to Love, with whom he
fathered Faith, Bliss, and Patience. All
worship of him now belongs to the Rhonara.
