Volk is the God of Death and the Bringer of Death in the Myrcian Pantheon. Volk is depicted as a skeletal figure holding a scythe and carrying a lantern. As a Bringer, Volk is one of the three main gods of the Myrcian pantheon. He is neutral and his domains include Grave, Order, and Knowledge.

Myth Story
It is said that Volk always was, existing before the darkness and the light and destined to be until the last of existence is ushered into the beyond. Volk wasn't given form until Lillith reached out and spilled the blood of Sol. As the blood spilled upon the land Volk, resigned, began it's terrible work.

With those few drops, pain came to Rune. Men grew old and sickly. Creatures ravaged and killed and ate of flesh. Blood washed over the land and grew unchecked. Volk turned to the four great labors before it. First It reached for the sky and tore a piece off. Then Volk plunged the piece into the ocean, deeper than any had gone before. There, Volk opened the piece of sky and formed Judicium, court of the dead, where souls are judged for their actions on Rune. Then Volk wrote upon the Judges desk and Lex, Keeper of Order was born of the sacred words written there. The first task done, Volk turned to the second labor. Volk stretched time into a long line, putting the new at the beginning and the old at the end. To make sure the line stayed straight he created Kronos the Keeper of Time out of a great mountain. Then the Volk set about the third and greatest labor, shepherding the souls of the dead to Judicium. Volk stood on the fields of battle where the children of Lillith and Mankind lie, their tortured souls bound to their crippled forms. Volk took pity on them and with a swing of the scythe separated their souls from their flesh. Volk bid them come and holding aloft the lantern, guided them into the dark.

However, to Volk's amazement, there were those who did not wish to come with and face their final judgement. These few turned to the great powers of the Gods and to forces greater and older still in order to shun Volk. Volk, knowing these powers as well, used them to form Tambiah, the Keeper of Magic, so that this natural power could be better controlled. Those who wished to best Volk tried many different ways, and some did, for a time, but in the end Volk comes for us all.
