(Ee-rah)
As long as there has been life, there has also been death. Followers of Irah understand it as a series of transitions: a path, which like all paths, eventually comes to an end. To the devout it is nothing to be feared, after death, one's soul transcends their body and joins Irah in the ether.
While Irah is primarily the god of death, he also oversees other transitions, as well as those who are stuck on--or have strayed from--their path. He is a protector, shepherd, and father to all manner of creatures in all walks of life.
Irah's symbol is a gothic arched door (arched top which comes to a single point), and most depictions feature a faceless figure (or a figure with a shrouded face) in white or grey robes and long, silver hair. His followers dress simply and pride themselves on a lack of attachment to physical items, similar to the concept in Zen Buddhism. Instead, they simply acknowledge when things are loved and when things are lost, as ownership too, is a cycle. Many orphanages, hospitals, and morgues are opened in the holy name of Irah, most of his houses of worship also double as at least one of these.
- Faceless (or shrouded), robed male figure standing in front of a gothic arched door (the arch comes to a point at the top). Door can be closed, or cracked open slightly.
- Right hand is either: a) up, fingers together, with a halo around it (prophet style), holding a lantern, or holding a gnarled shepherd's hook, which is made out of a natural piece of wood.
- figure is hooded, possibly with a cloak. Could also have a young, scared child (simliar clothes, similarly faceless) cowering/hiding by his left (our right) side, which he is using his left hand to protect.
