Eternal Repose
Former Funerist of the First Age, Eternal Repose is the previous incarnation of Dolorous Distich. As the Head of the Ministry of Radiant Exequies, Eternal Repose has manifested himself to Distich in an attempt to educate his current age counterpart, and as a means to attempt to resuscitate the Ministry within Sijan and Creation as a whole.
Since Venerable Silk has been absent, Eternal Repose has made a habit of showing up in Dolorous Distich's room nightly for training, much to the confusion of Starfish, who has been hearing one-sided conversations through the walls about the First Age.
Eternal Repose has also made mention of a tomb in Sijan where Distich could find the Regalia of Ministry of Radiant Exequies, which coincidentally is also the place of his burial.
