Scriveners of Doom
Structure
When compared to other churches, Jergal only had a small handful of living followers. Upon their death, Jergal would sometimes transform one of his priests into a mummy to carry on working for him in undeath. These mummified priests worked isolated in secluded crypts and were sometimes served by mindless undead such as zombies or skeletons. Jergal's clergy were referred to as the Scriveners of Doom. The high priest within each temple was called the First Scrivener of Doom. Jergal's followers were evenly split between clerics, monks, and doomscribes. All of Jergal's clergy shaved their heads and wore gray robes.
Public Agenda
Priests of Jergal served as scribes, funerary workers, and morticians. The task of recording the fates and affairs of short-lived mortals of the land rested with the Scriveners of Doom.
Worship
Clerics of Jergal pray for their spells at dusk, a time of day representative of the end of life. The only ritual Jergal’s clerics are required to perform is called the Scaling. After recording each and every creature’s demise, form of death, and destination in the afterlife, Scriveners of Doom are required to sprinkle a light dusting of ash and powdered bone over their inscribed words to blot the ink and mark another small step toward the world’s end.
