Creating Deity- Ghostwalk Campaign...


3.5/d20/OGL


I've got a True Neutral Cleric with the domains of Death and Repose, I need a deity though. I'm leaning towards a Barbarian god of death for the campaign I'm currently using him in, but I want to incorporate this new god or goddess into the Ghostwalk campaign, much like I'm incorporating Afflux into it. (A small cult of two leading members, one a True Necromancer and the other a Pale Master who isn't even a cleric and perhaps a couple necromancers and evil clerics) But this new god would be a god of balance, of death and repose, of death both harsh and good. I was thinking of taking Dracanish but nuking the neutral requirement, but perhaps he's just a fallen cleric of Dracanish or Afflux even and now he worships a Neutral god of Death. (he is death and undeath obsessed, but more on the fixation with death and hatred of undeath side).

I need a name -preferably in latin, I have dictionary, so something along the lines of Decedo (retire), or Fatalis (for Fate rather than Death). Mors, letum or obitus would also be good Perhaps Moribundus? Again, neutral god of Death, perhaps I could just have him worship the Reaper, but lets be a little bit creative here.
I need a portfolio as well as domains, I'm thinking death, repose, and perhaps undeath to explain my character's obsession. He's negative energy so being able to rebuke and command undead will come into play. (but all three might be a bit heavy)

Thoughts, Feelings? Latin buffs?

Also,
I'm using latin as a given/acquired name source, all my NPCS have latin names so far, it's part of the "Trade Tongue" idea that Ghostwalk has going, so I'm developing an idea of anglicanized latin as an archaic version of the trade tongue. One character is a nobleman by the name of Nexilis, one is a True Necromancer by the name of Mortalis and then he calls one of his henchman Exculo (since he has a bodak eye graft), etc.

Two of my Players, one from Thurkasia and another, a monk, from the monastery south of Manifest, both took latin based names. (Virterro= Manly Wanderer) and (Ferus Pugalatio= Iron Fisticuffs). Funny enough my dwarf player from Thurkasia took a russian name. (Drotto Kamchatka)

Barathrum is latin for the underworld. I like that one. Umbra is shadow or shade in latin. Custos and Stipator both refer to an attendant to someone (stipator refers to a noble).

As far as Domains I'd imagine you could use: Death, Family, Fate, Renewal, Suffering and possibly Time. Portfolios could include ancestors, gravesites, the dead, the sick, stuff like that.

I love Ghostwalk. It's been forever since I've had a chance to play it.
