Rodcet Nife, the Prime Healer
Every cleric who swore the Nife Oath in Qeynos served Rodcet Nife. One tome claims he came from somewhere very dark.
The Nife Oath
Followers of Rodcet Nife swear to fight disease and death until one or the other claims them. They are humble and generous, asking only that those they help pass the kindness on. They do not just clean up after plague; they hunt down its sources. Healers and mystics take the oath, and so do many rangers and paladins, believing that one day the wounded heart of the universe will be mended.

Allies and one enemy
In the RPG he appears as a spindly humanoid of no known race in a short robe, ruling the Plane of Health. He counts Karana, Quellious, Erollisi Marr and Prexus as allies; only Bertoxxulous opposes him.

The renegade Jal’Raeth
One of the oddest texts in his lore is a quest tome of Jal’Raeth writings. It mentions one renegade among the Jal’Raeth, a pacifist who saw undeath not as a gift of eternal life but as a curse: Rodcet Nife. It says he visited many realms to heal and strengthen frail mortals, with healing powers rivalling the dark powers of his kind, and mentions rituals of resurrection. The tome is meant to be taken to the Anagogical Order in Qeynos.

Where the sources disagree
- The Jal’Raeth origin appears in one quest tome and is not repeated in the deity descriptions; treat it as one in-world account.
