Deathless may refer to:
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, Deathless was a classification of monsters that could be encountered by player characters. Deathless are creatures that have prolonged their lives unnaturally using magic.
Deathless are defined by their opposition and contrast to Undead, in that Undead are associated with negative energy, death and decay, while Deathless are associated with life-based magic.
Deathless as a creature type first appeared in the Book of Exalted Deeds, published by Wizards of the Coast, in 2003. It subsequently appeared in a smattering of Third Edition publications, including the Eberron Campaign Setting.
Deathless as a creature type has not appeared in the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons. Fourth Edition D&D defines creature types differently from earlier editions, so creatures that appeared as Deathless in Third Edition may be defined in terms of other creature types.
Deathless is a fantasy novel by Catherynne M. Valente, combining the Russian fairy tale the Death of Koschei the Deathless with the events and aftermath of the Russian Revolution. The novel follows the life of Marya Morevna as she transforms from a young child witnessing the revolution to her newfound position as bride after her marriage with Koschei, Tsar of Life. The book is divided into six parts and is told primarily through the third person perspective of Marya Morevna, however, it does feature other characters such as Ivan Tsarevich.
The AV Club complimented Valente's prose, comparing it favorably to her previous works — in particular, her 2009 novel Palimpsest — and said that thematically, Deathless "does for Russia what Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell does for England".
Strange Horizons similarly praised Valente's use of language, but said that the novel as a whole was "problematic", "ambivalent", and "strangely colorless", that "at a macro-level", the novel is "something of a mess," and that ultimately, what the novel "has in loveliness, it lacks in direction."
