Nov 1, 2020 · In the Forgotten Realms, Kelemvor is the god of death itself and the deity who judges souls. Jergal js the former god of death who now acts as the scribe of the dead, recording the final disposition of souls. Myrkul is the god of dead souls and kinda necromancy. Lastly, while not strictly a deity of death, Bhaal is the god of murder.

Oct 13, 2022 · Jergal was the original God of Death, and probably has been for tens of thousands of years since the world was formed. Myrkul was a god for 3000 or so years, Cyric only had the Domain of Death for 100 years (and wasn't really seen as the God of Death), and Kelevor has only been a god for a century (and is seen as the God of Death).

Nov 11, 2019 · Not completely related, but I have a fun little story regarding a Lawful Neutral god in the domain of Death. So one of my favourite deities in the Forgotten Realms is Jergal, which is one of the most hilariously awful gods there is. From the SCAG: "The story goes that in the time of Netheril he was worshiped as the god of death, murder, and strife.

May 28, 2022 · The god Velsharoon’s focus on undeath to prolong life also earned him Jergal’s ire. As death is his focus and desire, gods of life innately oppose Jergal and his ways, and resurrection is not something that he would be keen to have his followers use unless they have a good enough reason to do so. Clergy

SCAG goes into this a bit. They oversee different jurisdictions of death. Myrkul is the god of death, the actual finality of mortality. Kelemvor is the god who oversees the dead, giving them final dispensation. He brings them to the proper afterlife and his priests arrange the final affairs of …

There's always the Raven Queen, the ruler of the Shadowfell who teaches that death is natural, undead should be eradicated so souls can be in peace, etcetera etcterea. Her tenets are, according to DnD 4e: Hold no pity for those who suffer and die, for death is the natural end of life. Bring down the proud who try to cast off the chains of fate.

So, the dead three, the dark gods, are specifically evil gods. Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul all received their divine portfolios of Tyranny, Murder, and Death from an older god called Jergal. Jergal was god of The Dead, not death, nor murder, not tyranny. So Jergal became the scribe of the dead. A seneschal. An observer. In a way he became true neutral.

Jul 8, 2023 · They players are traversing a temple dedicated to the god of death, necromancy, vampires, IE the evil kind of death god. I have 2 encounters designed but I want a third one that’s a puzzle. The idea being if the players solve the puzzle they can pass, where if they fail and try to brute force their way through a bone gollum will form and ...

Aug 13, 2023 · Jergal is still around, and basically acts as a guide and advisor for whomever is the current God of the Dead, which is Kelemvor at the moment. I believe Cryic and Myrkur wanted to profane death and use it just for power so did Kelemvor somehow usurp that role and just make it a more "natural" part of the order of the universe?

Jul 25, 2021 · ok so I am making a campaign set in the underworld, I have already devised a system on how it runs, and part of that is that the god of death is a title, and that the previous god of death who lost his powers is a pain in the ass for the current death god, who is good, as in this system the god of death is a good guy who has to keep the balance of the world, and the previous god is making his ...
