Hi, all. (I'm not sure whether to post here or in Tips & Tactics, but this seemed more appropriate as it is a backstory/lore question? I apologize if it's in the wrong spot though...)

I've been working on a character sheet as a possible backup character to the CoS campaign that I'm currently playing in. The character is Boarbrand, a Loxodon cleric-favored necromancer (2 Undying Warlock level dips, and remaining levels in College of Whispers Bard) for a god of the dead (haven't pinned down which yet exactly, though this thread may help?)..

My question is, is there any feasible way to spin Boarbrand's view of necromancy as reasonably understandable in a certain light?
And/or if there are "rules" Boarbrand can follow when engaging in necromancy to make it, for lack of a better phrase, ethical?
And/or a god he can follow that would not object to this, for a given reason?

So far, the only straightforward take I've managed to come up with is: In his homeland, necromancy is generally accepted (unlike most settings), however, he must first go on a pilgrimage to bring back his own understanding of death / his god's philosophy, from in lands where necromancy is generally shunned by society. It doesn't quite click right for me though...

I went to see if more experienced posters might have any good suggestions on:
1) Ethical necromancy perspectives and/or set of rules to follow?
and 2) god of death and/or decay (or even life?) candidates for Boarbrand in line with this concept?

I apologize if my English is strange or off, as it is my second language. Thank you!

This post should have long ago been answered with the obvious, and simple, answer. Baelnorn. There, done.
