Grenth overthrows Dhuum to become the God of Death
With the aid of seven mortals, the half-god Grenth challenges and defeats Dhuum — the brutal original God of Death — in the ossuary of the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance in Orr. Dhuum's power passes to Grenth, who seals his fallen predecessor within the Underworld's Hall of Judgment.
Dhuum, the previous God of Death, ruled the Underworld without mercy: he consumed the souls of the dead, forbade both resurrection and undeath, and hunted down any who escaped him with the promise of "death undeniable." Around 48 BE the half-god Grenth — the Tyrian-born son of the goddess Dwayna — gathered seven mortals and challenged him, and the company defeated Dhuum in the ossuary of the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance in Orr.
Dhuum's power was transferred to Grenth, who took his place among the gods as the new God of Death; the seven mortals who aided him were elevated into his immortal avatars, the Seven Reapers, to oversee the Underworld. Not powerful enough to destroy Dhuum outright, Grenth sealed the deposed god behind the enchanted doors and layered divine magic of the Hall of Judgment — a prison against which the old God of Death would one day strain. The deed fell in the last decades before the gods' Exodus from the world.
