Temple of Nerull - Rel Astra - The Three Faces of Death
The most well-known of Nerull's temples is in or mainly, beneath, the city of Rel Astra. Beyond the great three-headed statue to the deity is a winding stair that leads not to the UnderOerth but down to the dark plane of death controlled by Nerull.
The statue shows three faces of death. The right side is murder, the left darkness and the central head stares out from the Abyss. The hands of the statue are bathed in the blood of sacrifices to the dark god and his worshipers bathe their hands in the collecting pools beneath.
A greater temple to Nerull is said to exist but one that is hidden and known only to the highest members of his clergy.
That's an amazing vignette. It stirs the imagination.
