Morr

Morr is the god of the dead, death, prophecy, dreams, and dreamers in the Old World Pantheon. He holds sway over illusions and all things that are not what they seem. A contemplative god, Morr guards the souls of the departed from absorption by Chaos and unholy use by necromancers, just as his priests guard the corpses buried in the Gardens of Morr, and protects the dreams of the sleeping from Daemons that would pervert them.

Morr and his devoted followers are the eternal enemies of the Undead, and guardians against grave and tomb robbers. The Cult of Morr is not a popular one, but is of singular importance in the religious life of the Old World, for all come to Morr's gate eventually.

Morr is one of the Old Gods later absorbed by the Classical Pantheon of ancient Tilea. Some myths hold that Morr is the husband of Verena, the goddess of knowledge, brother of Khaine, the god of murder, and father of Myrmidia, the goddess of war and Shallya, the goddess of healing and mercy. He is usually depicted as a tall, aristocratic Human male with dark hair and an aura of intensity and sometimes as a faceless figure draped in a deep, black hood and cloak carrying a scythe.

The original name of Morr is lost in the depth of time, instead people of the Old World use his name derived from the Classical language of ancient Tilea. Pirates of Sartosa worship Morr near as much as they do gold, and they refer to him as "King Death" like other Tilean mariners.

Forsagh, the god of prophecy in the Old World, is an aspect of Morr worshipped as the minor deity of auguries within the Empire of Man.

"Saved by Morr," is a way to say "dead" by folk in the Empire.[5h] At the same time, "Morr damn you!" is a popular Imperial expletive.
