💀 Kelemvor

God of the Dead, Final Rest, and the Proper Passage of Souls

Kelemvor governs death without fear or cruelty. He teaches that death is not punishment—it is a natural conclusion that must be faced honestly. Where other death gods traffic in terror or obsession, Kelemvor insists on clarity, dignity, and finality.

He despises undeath not because it is horrifying, but because it traps souls in violation of the cosmic order. Ghosts linger not because they are evil, but because something has gone wrong.
