Requiem dragons are stewards of the River of Souls and the process through which souls reach their final destination in the afterlife. The safe journey of a soul is of utmost importance to a requiem dragon, and some will follow individual souls from their first entry into the river through to their judgment in the Boneyard and eventually to their ultimate resting place. Most requiem dragons tie themselves to specific planes and shepherd any souls bound to that plane, leading to dragons linked to

Abilities
Soul Journey (divine, exploration) — The dragon spends 1 hour traveling through planar channels to reach the River of Souls, and then reaches any point along the river. This has the effects of Interplanar Teleport, except that the dragon can arrive precisely where they like on any major plane.
Status Sight — The requiem dragon automatically knows the Hit Points of all creatures they can see.

Withhold Death (divine) —
Dooming Breath (divine, spirit) — Energy from Creation's Forge erupts from the dragon's mouth, dealing 9d8 spirit damage in a 60-foot line (DC 30 Reflex save). Undead creatures who fail the save must also succeed at a DC 30 Will save or become Doomed 1. If the target is already doomed, the doomed value increases by 1 (to a maximum of Doomed 4). The dragon can't use Dooming Breath again for 1d4 rounds.

WORKS WELL WITH
CrasherLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICAn aggressive striker can dive in and take risks knowing the dragon's death-prevention ability can catch a costly mistake.
SniperLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICRanged damage adds pressure while the dragon controls the reach zone with its multiple attacks.
SnareLAND / AERIAL / AQUATICControl that clusters enemies turns the line-shaped breath into a much bigger swing.
PUNISHES
✖ focus-fire alpha strikes✖ clumping✖ melee reliance at reach
A second Mender is unnecessary; the dragon's own death-save backstop already covers that need.
