Sepran, also known as The Traveler, is concerned with the end of life and the afterlife. He is often depicted as a handsome yet melancholy young man with a shadowed face clad in a black cloak and traveler's attire, and bearing a gnarled staff. Placid and gentle, he espouses death as the mortal body's well earned rest from earthly toil, and the spirit's time to gain enlightenment by traveling to it's final cosmic destiny. He is said to know the time and place of every death that has or will occur, and personally judges the dead, sending them impartially to their just reward or doom.
The Traveler is commonly worshiped by the dead and dying, and also, strangely enough, by intelligent, restless dead who yearn for final peace. While he opposes undead in nearly all forms, The Traveler and his priesthood exhibit true compassion for those who are bound to unholy life through no design of their own, as well as those who suffer death before their time.
The Traveler's Priesthood are small in number, with many towns and villages boasting only a single member of the clergy and a simple hut or small house as a shrine. His temples in the larger cities are larger, usually serving as mortuaries and funerary chapels, and many also own and maintain the local graveyards. One of the lesser known services provided by the Clergy is “The Departure”, where those who suffer during their natural passing are given a swift and painless death through a laying on of hands.
Horizon Walkers are a famous association of Sepran's laity who believe they can cultivate a closer relationship with Sepran and greater enlightenment in this life and the next by traveling the world and the planes as he does. Less associated with death than the priesthood, the Horizon Walkers are devoted primarily to travel and learning. There are rumors of more frightening champions that act as Sepran's vengeance against those who defile the sacred boundaries of life and death.
