Jergal

Lord of the End of Everything, Scribe of the Doomed, the Bleak Seneschal, the Pitiless One

While other gods of death might take morbid pleasure in controlling the fates of mortal creatures, Jergal takes a calm disinterest. The Bleak Seneschal has seen one or more deities squabble for dominion over death in every era of Faerûn, yet he has always been there, methodically keeping careful record of the dead and the destinations of their spirits. Unexcitable, inscrutable, unambitious; Jergal knows that death isn’t tragedy, release, or paradise - it’s a lot of record-keeping.
Due to the constant work performed by the clergy, Jergali observe only a single calendar event that could be described as a holy day. On the last night of the year, the 30th of Nightal, the scribes are permitted to stop working for a single night. Upon the start of the new year, the Jergali declare “One year closer!” before burning the year’s work and starting again.
Grim stony crypts and mausoleum-like chapels are the only structures frequently occupied by followers of the Bleak Seneschal. The scribes who occupy these locations labor daily to record the death of all sentient beings, listing their cause of death and final destination in the afterlife. Some become Mummified Scriveners of Doom, entering a state of near-lichdom to work without pause until death finally claims them. Active adventuring among Jergali is rare and often frowned upon but accepted by some sects if the worshipper records the death of sentient creatures in rare and remote locations, providing these records at least once a year.
