Thanasis, The Religion of Death
Keywords:
THANASIS
Overview: The Thanasis faith is a pursuit of immortality and dominance over death itself. Its followers view death not as an end, but as the next, eternal phase of existence. They seek to control this transition, using disease, discord, and disaster as tools to bring others; and themselves; closer to this "enlightenment." While they respect the cycle of death as an ordered force, their goal is selfish dominion over it. Life is seen as a fleeting moment; true power lies in mastering what comes after. Those who do not seek this understanding are considered mere experiments or fodder.

Tenets
- Life is merely a fleeting aspect of existence to be conquered.
- Live and learn. In death, the eternal is found.
- The only truth found is what you can find through determination and factual evidence. That doesn't mean you have to share it, hold truth close.
- Everything dies in the end. Enjoy your time while you have it, and ensure that time does die when you do.
- Know yourself. Only then can you master the life that comes after death.
Lore: The faith was founded by a zealous cleric who refused to accept death as a final end. Initially preaching broadly, they eventually focused on teaching only those who sought true enlightenment. The name "Thanasis" reflects their core goal: dominance over death (Thanatos). While Kasimir, the god of deception and dominance, is seen as a related progeny of Sheylynn, the Thanasis faith is devoted to Seir. They pursue a selfish path of power and self-preservation, which Seir respects and bolsters. Followers seek immortality and control over the nature of life and what lies beyond, viewing the unenlightened as test subjects in their grand quest for understanding.
Known Alliances: They are not necessarily an enemy nor an ally to any faith, empire, race, nor ethos. They have a loose alliance with Kasimir due to the connection between Sheylynn and Seir.
