Gaun

Deities

Gaun is an aspect of Eothas associated with death and harvests. His implements are symbolically important: the sickle reaps what is sowed in life, and the lantern guides the deceased down their intended paths of death and rebirth. It is generally believed that Gaun, instead of Berath's avatars, visits those who embrace death with acceptance and understanding. His most fervent devotees are known as "Harvesters of Gaun."

Gaun is an answerer of wrongs and imbalances. This has contributed no small part to Dyrwood's enthusiasm for vigilante justice. Popular regard for Gaun is polarizing: he is appreciated, feared, and characterized by a grim sense of finality.
