"It is indeed. Cristef was devastated. He couldn't even get close to his love, for the gods had cursed him too. If he came too close to her, she would feel a great, horrifying, excruciating pain. All he could do was watch her from afar. Eventually, Cristef could bear his existence no longer. He retreated into the mountains, making his home at the top of one that was surrounded by others, were no one could find him. He set about trying to take his own life, so he wouldn't face his torture anymore. But, being immortal, nothing could kill him. Every blade, every poison, every magic he could find... none of it worked. After 800 years of trying to kill himself, Cristef gave up. But the gods, they can be cruel. Some of them had taken to watching Cristef try to kill himself, and were very entertained by his futile efforts, and they didn't want to watch the show end so soon."
"So they made a deal with Cristef. If he could successfully kill himself, they would place him on a cycle of reincarnation just like his lady love, and in every new life, they would find each other, fall in love all over again, and spend each life together in happiness, and die together so one would never live without the other. They would spend eternity together, one lifetime at a time."
"Cristef eagerly agreed, and began trying to take his life once more. But he was no more successful than he had been before. Centuries later, at the bottom of what would be known as Reaper's Mountain, a small town formed, by people who heard the story and wished to help Cristef in his effort. In the center of the town sits a large statue of what Cristef is said to look like, and another of his beloved maiden. On the statue of Cristef, the people place various weapons and poisons, and other things one could kill themselves with. Upon the maiden's statue, they place offerings of support and encouragement. Baked treats, chocolates, anything that could possibly lift his spirits. And at the end of each month, these offerings are said to disappear. It is said that in the village of Nightshade, on the night of a full moon, one can awake in the middle of the night to hear Cristef scream in agony."
