The Accord was forged in the First Culling, where the cosmic concept of Mortality shattered into six distinct personalities to prevent the universe from stagnating in eternal life.

The 'Endless Descent', a spiraling plane where the weight of one's life determines which of the six divine halls a soul settles into.

The Accord is a strict hierarchy led by Morthas, where each deity oversees a specific stage of the dying process, from the first wound to the final decay.

Priests are essential civil servants. Temples of Iolanthe function as hospices, while the iron-clad warriors of Valerios act as sanctioned executioners. Mortals frequently bargain with the gods, offering decades of service for a few more minutes of life.

The 'Gray Verge' is the gateway where Kaelen records names. Souls then travel to Iolanthe's Gardens, Valerios's Arena, or Sylas's Ossuary based on their character.
