Kelemvor
Kelemvor is also known as
the Lord of the Dead, Judge of the Damned and Master of the Crystal Spire.
Kelemvor was once a mortal along with Cyric and Midnight(Mystra). He
inherited the death portfolio when Cyric lost it after his trial by the gods.
The first act he performed as god was to tranform Cyrics tower of bone into a
gleaming tower of cyrstal. It was to be a symbol that this god of the dead would
hide nothing from his subjects. He intends to impart justice among the dead in
an even-handed and fair manner.
As Kelemvor and Mystra(Midnight) were lovers in their mortal life it has
brought about an unusual alliance. As to if they are lovers in their godly life
this is matter they have managed to keep private.
Kelemvors foe is Cyric, who views Kelemvor as someone who maliciously and
willfully set out to steal the portfolio of death from him. A tradtional foe of
the god of death has been Lathander but he has not declared himself an enemy of
Kelemvor. He waits to see if Kelemvor will live up to his promises.
His ally is Mystra.
Change propotions
- The change of the bastard sword to the scythe.
- Portefolio is still
death, but the death domain is kind of out of the question for any
kelemvorian worshipper since in has spells that would create undead. It
simply makes no sense for this hater-of-undead god to have such spells on
his most central domain spell list. Instead I'll like to use the repose
domain and call it death (because.. well.. Kelemvor is the god of death
after all).
- I suggest that only the really keen worshippers of any
god goes to their appropriate gods after death, when their god requests
this. The rest of the soals are "judged" to an existence in a place that
corresponds to their behaviour in life. That is, murderous and thiving
people go to a place when murder and theft are commonplace while
traditionalists go to a place that never changes and so forth. (An
alternative is to let the souls go to places according to their belief;
which essential means that people who believe in incarnation will indeed be
incarnated, people who think some god will accept them on their plane has
the right to go to that plane. Souls who dont believe in anything ends up in
some kind of void or are destroyed all together).
I think this is more in
agreement with the old religions, for instance the norse religion where only
strong warriors who fell in combat are claimed by the gods and sent to
Valhalla. The rest goes to a place "Hel" where they life in relative
missery. Hades work approximatly the same way. But neither Hel nor Hades was
govened by a lawful, neutral god but an evil god. So the missery and agony
would have to depend fairly on what the souls did when they were in a living
body.
- There are no "Wall of Souls" for the unbelievers (a place of
ethernal agony). In your world, where people kill clerics for using divine
magic (which in essence come from their god) such a wall would propably not
be something anyone believes in. And I'd rather my cleric does not have to
preach about such matters. He is after all, not a cleric of faith, but of
death. Unbelievers, like everyone else, ends up where they belong according
to their actions in life. (Or if you rather want that, according to their
own belief).
- You never mentioned anything about Bolin's rather unique
ability to turn his property black. Do you allow this? How is it done?
Automaticly and over time or through a ceremony?
