Sellaire

Sellaire is the Chaotic Evil god of undeath and insanity and is associated with the crescent moon. Sellaire is a mysterious figure shrouded in a multitude of contradictory legends. He is known to have once been a vampire that inhabited what is now called the Sanguine Fang Mountain in Sulumbra.

Sellaire is thought to have ascended at some point between around 50 BF and 20 AF. Most legends corroborate that at the same time he rose to godhood Sellaire also underwent a second ritual, which in some way transformed him. The most common theory is that he has achieved lichdom alongside vampirism; most widespread cults devoted to Sellaire worship him under this assumption.

Appearance
Sellaire is represented by most of his followers as a finely adorned vampire whose flesh has been stripped away below the nose, revealing a grinning skeletal mouth. The bared jaw of Sellaire is one of his most famous symbols, and is the namesake of a mountain range in Sulumbra.

Deathsblood
Sellaire is usually depicted with wooden spear that continually drips blood. The spear, called Deathsblood, is said to have been driven through Sellaire's heart by a group of heroes while the vampire performed his ascension ritual. However, it was already to late; Sellaire pulled the spear from his breast and used it to kill the heroes. The spear is a symbol of worship among Sellaire's followers because it imbibed the last mortal blood spilled by their god.

Mad King of the Undead
Sellaire is most famous as the god of undeath. Intelligent undead usually pay him homage in some way, or at least avoid upsetting him. Cults of Sellaire are notoriously difficult to destroy, as cultists who have sufficiently impressed their god are sometimes brought back to serve even in death.

Because of Sellaire's unique position as a recently ascended god, many of the older undead once counted him as a peer. While some are jealous of Sellaire's ascension, there are more that owe him favors from ages long past.

Patron of Madmen
While Sellaire is most strongly associated with undead, he also has a strong following that worship him as a god of insanity and the unknowable. For this reason, it has been theorized that rather than lichdom, Sellaire transmuted some essence of the Far Realm into himself. There are some worshipers of Sellaire that worship him not as a vampire-lich but as a monstrosity made up of bloodshot eyes and thousands of teeth.
