Death and its Attendants. [ There's only a brief pause in which Azrail considers explaining further. ] Myself and my sister, Lorelai.

[lallipop]

[Three whole people! All right. Mostly he already knew that.]

It's called the Gods Wood. Why aren't there more gods in it?

[...It's a valid question, okay.]

[felldennpc]

The Wood is the birthplace of all Gods in this world and all Otherworlds. The name derives from that fact.

[ A valid question deserves an equally valid answer! ]

[lallipop]

Okaaay.

[He sounds... dubious.]

If they're not here anymore, where did they go?

[And where should he look for them.]

[felldennpc]

[ Azrail stares at him for a moment, an eerie blankness to it. ]

They've gone to make the Otherworlds. A God is birthed, it departs Fellden, it creates the worlds that your kind call home.

If you are referring to the Gods of Fellden, those that are still worshipped exist on a plane separate to the mortal one that you and I stand upon. Those with closed shrines are dead. [ The easiest way of putting it. ]

[lallipop]

[The effect is somewhat diminished by Lalli still avoiding eye contact, but it's still plenty. Azrail officially gives The Willies.

However...]

Dead.

But Death can bring people back whenever it wants. That's what happened to the leaders, isn't it?

So it's hiding them somewhere, or it's a different kind of death.

[felldennpc]

The faction leaders were a special circumstance. The Great Lord cannot bring back just anyone as it pleases: Death is the great equalizer.

[ There is a sigh, exhaled sharply.]

I am not here to be your sounding board for theories, child.

[lallipop]

[Rude!]

Well if you'd just tell us things we wouldn't have to guess!

[Oh. Right. That probably crossed the line over to impolite.]

Fine. I want to talk to a different god. I guess that means I have to go somewhere else.

[felldennpc]

We share what information we are able to. By all means, continue to act as an ungrateful, petulant child despite my patience in answering your questions.

[ Azrail snaps his fingers. ]

Even when the Woods open again, you are not permitted to enter. Perhaps your different Gods will provide you another place to traverse that is not my home.

[ With that, Azrail disappears in a plume of black smoke. ]
