Worship, Faith and Practices
They typically celebrate Death's Door. Their practices generally include funeral rites and last rites for the dead.
Despite their faith being seen as an entity to be wary of, they do generally believe in helping shepherd the dead to their final resting place. This, in a selfish way, proves to themselves that their right in something existing after death.
Ranks and Roles:
Thanarion - Death's Noble Evoker, the head of Thanasis. They invoke and evoke death, fully understanding it and standing by Seir's side.
Nemoris - The Sacred Grove of Death. They stand at the top as well, just below the leader, but support him and those who know death.
Pallivar - The Pallid Knights are the military wing of Thanasis and Seir. They wield their strength to ensure that Thanasis is protected and to bring dominant to the unbelievers for their Masters.
Vescellant - The restless devourers are those who are seeking to learn the ways of death. They climb and claw for rank, learning to prove their worth.
To join the faith, one typically only needs to find a member of the Thanasis faith or worship Seir himself. Someone from the faith will typically seek out those at least curious to guide them towards enlightenment. The uninitiated should always be aware not to fall prey to being led astray into some horrific experience that would end their path prematurely. This in an of itself is a test if and when conducted.
