In the shadows of existence, where mortal lives intertwine with the threads of fate, there lies a dark and mysterious subclass for the Warlock known as the Patron of Death. Those who choose to forge a pact with a Shinigami, a powerful entity closely associated with Edysus, God of Travel, embark on a perilous journey that entwines their destinies with the realms beyond life.

The Pact with the Shinigami
A Patron of Death is one who has dared to make a sinister bargain with a Shinigami, a being that wields the Tome of the Dead - a repository of countless names inscribed for enigmatic reasons. The Shinigami, aligned with Edysus, guide souls to their ultimate destination, be it the celestial Heavens or the Abyss in the afterlife. In exchange for eternal servitude, the warlock is granted the Shinigami's Tome of the Dead, a book of unparalleled power that channels the power of death itself if you know the name of the victim.

The Cursed Bond
Upon sealing the pact, the Warlock willingly pledges their soul to the Shinigami. This dark commitment comes at a cost, for every name inscribed in the Book of the Dead, including the warlock's own, binds them further to the whims of Edysus. The Patron of Death is forever cursed to serve the God of Travel, and upon crossing the threshold into the afterlife, they are destined to transform into a Shinigami themselves, bereft of individual will and condemned to serve for all eternity.

Powers of the Book of the Dead
The Book of the Dead bestowed upon the warlock grants them unique powers, tapping into the energies of departed souls. As the warlock fulfills more duties for their Shinigami patron, they unlock increasingly potent curses to unleash upon the enemies of Edysus. These curses draw strength from the vast knowledge and influence held within the Book of the Dead, allowing the warlock to manipulate the forces that govern life and death.

Duties and Curses
The Patron of Death is tasked with performing various duties in service to the Shinigami. These duties may involve guiding lost souls, ensuring the smooth transition of the departed, or even delivering retribution to those who disrupt the natural order of life and death. With each completed task, the warlock gains access to new and powerful curses that can be inflicted upon foes, further solidifying their allegiance to Edysus.

Eternal Servitude and the Afterlife
For the Patron of Death, the journey does not end with mortal demise. As they tread the path between life and death, their soul is inexorably drawn towards becoming a Shinigami. The transformation erases any semblance of individual will, and the warlock becomes a loyal servant of Edysus in the afterlife, perpetually ensuring the orderly flow of souls and upholding the divine balance set by the God of Travel.
