The Hand of The Death God

Unlike the Hand of the Fire God, the Hand of the Death God hungers. It wasn't something I notice at first with it sitting in a desk drawer or behind some floor boards. But as the years drug on I felt like I wanted to use it. At first I thought it was curiosity, time had passed since my initial interaction with the weapon, and it was supposed to be "dead" (an object not alive is supposed to be dead, even though it itself is a manfestation of the death gods power, figure that shit out). But it grew stronger and stronger as it sat there, infiltrating my thoughts and mind. Thankfully as I'm a man of several madness's I realized the foreign madness and locked the weapon behind several runes, and other magic canceling things.

Unfortunately that didn't do anything. The damned weapon seemingly was only enthralled to push further, and instead of working on me, it started on my neighbors. I had several break ins attempting to steal it over a pattern of a month. I had to move it six times to keep it away from people and that only lead to more people trying to steal it. My entire life became devoted to keeping it away from others. Which is a bad idea since I don't devote my life to literally anything, and trying to keep a death god gun from killing just seemed like too much of my time.

So if history books were still a thing you'd probably have heard about a guy named Thomas Doricky. A man most notably known for killing 87 people with what was called in court "a magical weapon." I was called to testify in his trial, in which I threw him under the bus and told the court the weapon was no more magical than anything else. Doricky was pulled apart for his crimes (like literally, Ronerawth back then had a weird belief system in execution, I think they currently execute by vaporization, which seems nice). The gun managed it's way back to me through mostly illegal means, and I found a way to lock it away, up until the end of the world in which case I left it behind thinking it mostly safe on a planet full of dead people (what better place to leave it?). Now clearly I was incorrect.
