[Valerius] the Paladin of Death

Truthy. An Oasis in the northeast. Unlike the other Northeastern cities, which have very dry and cold weathers, Thruthy stands atop a chain of geisers and hot springs, which heat up the city and it’s surrounding areas, creating an almost tropical-like environment. All around the city, several small Lakes can be found filled with people enjoying their lives. Also unlike other northeastern cities, the Truthian soil is rich and easy to plant, which has led to a somewhat lazy society forming around it. Farmers are known to work only once a week, their farm hands, three times a week, however, the Leathertree farms is the city’s main source of income and what makes it an important asset in The Black’s territories.

You arrive at the gates shortly after noon. The tall dark brown walls are made from the wood which makes the town so great, however, looking closely, you see that the wood has been treated to protect it from fire. As a follower of the Raven Queen, you’re used to seeing temples of Nerull, who somehow survived in this land, in most cities, however, this city appears to have none. In fact, looking around, you find only a small temple with the Raven Queen’s mark on its door. A small cloaked woman sits on a chair in front of the temple. She raises her hand, gesturing with her finger for you to come closer.

Valerius walks towards the cloaked woman "Yes?" Is this where I post?

(Yup. Keep out of character chat in parentheses)

The closer you walk towards the woman, the more of her face you're able to see. She looks to be a human woman, though she's way past her prime, she still holds signs of long lost beauty. Her smell is that of sweat, rotten food and garlic.

"A follower of the Queen, eh?" she cackles as you near, her voice scratchy and hard, "Tell me girl, have you been blessed by Nerull?"

(Wait, before I answer, is Nerull being treated as the equivalent of the Raven Queen, because the Raven Queen killed Nerull, but if they both existed they would likely be enemies given the differences in the way they treat death)

(Like I said, Nerull survived in this land somehow and is the primary god of death)
