Base Class: Cleric
In mortal life, Kelemvor was a skilled fighter with the heart of a paladin. It was he who replaced Myrkul as lord of the dead, and in place of a dreadful god of death and fear, he is a fair and impartial Judge of the Dead. His clergy help people understand that death is part of life, and help ease the transition. His clerics, the Doomguides, tend to the people of Faerûn, many of whom are terrified of and misunderstand the transition to the Fugue Plane. An even worse fear is that wicked necromancers or clerics who still worship the vile god Myrkul will unearth their graves and raise them as unholy undead.
Most of the doomguides of Kelemvor serve the Judge of the Dead through tending to the needs of the various people of Faerûn. But there is a militant wing of the church dedicated to halting the spread of necromancy, and cleansing of the taint of unlife through any and all lawful means. As both compassionate caregivers and implacable foes of undeath and necromancy, Doomguides serve the order and natural cycle of life and death.
