7. History & Lore

• The Great Shattering: Suel was once part of the ancient entity Noi'Essap (The Goddess of Pure Desire). When Noi'Essap shattered, Suel received the mantle of the darkness, the aggressive lust, and the inescapable truth of death and endings.

• The Psychopomp's Duty: Suel is the crucial link in the Cycle of Life and Death. She collects the dead, presents them to Saery for judgment, watches as Ezma carries out the sentence, and then takes the "rehabilitated" soul to El to be reborn.

• The Scythe of Finality: Her scythe is not a weapon of murder, but a tool of collection. When murder occurs, it is an invitation for her to arrive early, but she only harvests what has already fallen.
