Kalyn

Kalyn, the God of Murder and Lies, is arguably the most active deity in Northern Sirrion, if not all of the continents. His most common method of influence upon the mortal realm is to convince mortals to act on his behalf through deals or bribes.

His appearance can generally be described as "dark," as he generally dresses in black clothes and has black hair.

Pre-God Life
Kalyn was born from noble blood into the House of Lyn over eighty millennia ago. He had one brother, named Moralyn, who would go on to become the God of Justice. Kalyn was responsible for multiple murders as a human, including his brother's girlfriend, Thea.

As he developed powers as a mage, Kalyn eventually became enamored with a god of magic named Arwynn. The two became intimate, though Kalyn eventually became overwhelmed with jealousy, as Arwynn took many lovers. Using a magical sword of her own making, Kalyn separated Arwynn from her godly powers. He then took them for his own and became the God of Murder and Lies. Arwynn was killed during the process.

Regaining Mortality
After thousands of years of godhood, Moralyn attempted to force Kalyn to change his ways. Moralyn put his brother in a situation in which the only course of action was for Kalyn to kill him. The God of Justice fled to Southern Sirrion before Kalyn found him. After a brief exchange, Kalyn thrust his knife into Moralyn's back, and the God of Justice disintegrated, leaving only his mace.

Moralyn did not die, however, at least not completely. The mantle of "God of Justice" was forced into Kalyn, which forced him to embody the contradiction of their two mantles. The strain of the internal struggle proved too much for Kalyn, so he sent an adventuring party led by a disgraced Ko-Sai named Loric Talarius in search of the sword that he once used to take Arwyn'ns godhood, Arwynn's Folly.

The party eventually retrieved the sword and, after Kalyn explained his situation, they agreed to assist him further (in exchange for his pledge to cure the continent of the Greyscale plague that had ravaged the southern continent). The ex-soldier from Dargoth, Pyrrhus, struck Kalyn with Arwynn's Folly, turning him into a human once again, as well as causing Moralyn to reappear somewhere as a human, too.
