Domains: Cremation, funeral fire, the dispatched body.
Era of ascension: Age of Craggus (~41,000 years ago). Cohort: dead. Died: Lost Ages (~30,000 years ago), when the Laughing Plague produced corpses at a rate that outran any conceivable pyre-construction schedule, his rite became impossible to perform correctly, and the cult died of ritual failure.
Worshipped by: The pyre-keepers of the Craggus era and the communities that had adopted cremation in deliberate response to the Long-Winter trauma of mass burial — entire villages buried under shared earth because nobody had the strength left to dig individual graves. The cremation cults rose as a corrective, with strong views on the indignity of mass interment. No living culture maintains his worship. (The worships edge is authored downstream on the worshipper, not here.)
Mernath had the memory of the dead — the ancestral records, the kept names, the mourning rite that lasted. Vrazokh had the body. His doctrine was about the physical act of correct disposal: a pyre built to a specific height, dried wood from specific species, the body laid with the head pointing in a culturally-specific direction, the fire lit by a named relative, the bones gathered after, the ash returned to the wind. The whole rite required four to six hours per body and a non-trivial fuel allocation; in the rebuilt Craggus-era polities the pyre-keepers were a respected and busy profession.
The Plague overwhelmed him by simple arithmetic. The disease produced bodies at a rate the pyres could not match. Wood ran out first in the major towns. Pyre sites filled with stacked uncremated corpses awaiting their turn. The doctrine had a clear position on what to do with a body that could not be cremated correctly — a mass burning was not a cremation in his sense, it was a desecration of the rite, and several of the pyre-keepers' orders chose to stop performing the rite altogether rather than perform it incorrectly at scale. The orders died in this refusal; the bodies were burnt in shared pits by other people, without the cult's involvement, and the cult was absent from its own catastrophe.
His rite is not performed in any living tradition. Some modern cultures cremate their dead; none of them do so under his theology, which required precisely the dignity of one body at a time that the Plague made structurally unaffordable.
