Kelemvor

The Lord of the Dead, the Judge of the Damned

Kelemvor is the just and impartial judge of the dead, and not a figure to be feared by those who lived life according to their faith and principles. However, he judges the faithless and the false (those who betray or falsely represent their faith) harshly. Undead are viewed as an unnatural halt to the cycle of life and judgment, and the Lord of the Dead doesn’t abide such creatures to exist.   The best-known ritual of Kelemvor is the Passing, the last rite that calls on the deity to watch for the approaching soul. Events of mass death, such as battlefields or areas of catastrophe, experience a large-scale version of the ritual known as the Lament for the Fallen.   Kelemvor marks two major calendar days. During Shieldmeet and the Feast of the Moon, faithful gather for the Deeds of the Dead, celebrating the good works of those who have passed on. In times of calamity or troublesome events, rituals are performed to consult with the souls of dead heroes in a manner similar to a speak with dead spell. The ritual on this day by the faithful is more powerful than the standard spell, allowing for a longer conversation and one less cryptic or limited.   Though there are few great temples to Kelemvor, his clergy are everywhere. They are consistently called upon for last rites, funerals, and remembrances. Those who die with no one to bury them are taken in and given a burial by the clergy. Those who die without a will have their possessions claimed by the church to fund its ministry, usually as part of an intermittent ritual known as Thanks to the Guide. It is at this same disbursement of goods that ranking priests tend to receive direction for the work of their temple or chapel.
