Origin[]
Mung is the Lord of all Deaths between Pegana and the Rim and a lesser god who embodies death itself. He typically assumes a physical form and wanders about the mortal world, bestowing the Sign of Mung with his hands on those that are deemed to reach their end. No bartering, bribery, or pleading can convince him to stop, with the only form of comfort offered being loosing their sorrows.
As a deity, Mung has had numerous prophets and worshipers, but payed them no heed and only responded towards their offering by saying, "Shall a man curse a god?" A select few were granted the gift of knowledge but were only driven mad as a result and eventually sought death through his sign.
