The Great Guide
Lord of the Crystal Spire)
Kelemvor (pronounced: /ˈkɛlɛmvɔːr/ KELL-em-vor), formerly Kelemvor Lyonsbane, also known as the Lord of the Dead and Judge of the Damned, was the god of death and the dead, and master of the Crystal Spire in the Fugue Plane. In his mortal days, Kelemvor was a skilled mercenary, with the heart of a noble paladin, concealed under rude manners and thwarted by his mysterious family curse.[citation needed]
Fair yet cold, Kelemvor was the god of death and the dead—the most recent deity to hold this position, following in the footsteps of Jergal, Myrkul, and Cyric. Unlike these other deities, whose rule as gods of the dead made the afterlife an uncertain and fearful thing, Kelemvor promoted that death was a natural part of life and should not be feared as long as it was understood.[citation needed] As a result of his deep respect for life and death, he held the undead in the uttermost contempt.

Tenets of Faith
Recognize that death is part of life. It is not an ending but a beginning, nor a punishment but a necessity. Death is an orderly process without deceit, concealment, and randomness. Help others die with dignity at their appointed time and no sooner.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Speak against those that would artificially prolong their life beyond natural limits, such as the undead. Do honor to the dead, for their strivings in life brought Er Arda to where it is now. Forgetting them is to forget where we are now, and why. Let no human in all Er Arda die a natural death without one of Kelemvor’s clerics at his side.
