Kelemvor is seen as a just, fair, and comforting god of death. Death comes to all, and when it occurs Kelemvor is there to take each soul by the hand and lead it to the proper afterlife. Kelemvor's priests teach that those who revere the gods according to the rites of their religion have done their proper service and will be offered the afterlife they seek.
The faithful of Kelemvor provide people with peaceful
transitions into the care of the Lord of the Dead. They
help the dying put their affairs in order, and they officiate at funeral rites for those who can't afford the lavish
ceremonies of their faith. The tenets of Kelemvor's
faithful compel them to forestall or prevent untimely
deaths whenever possible. Different sects and worshipers define "untimely" in different ways. One group might
concentrate on stopping the spread of disease, another
on the prevention of murder, and yet another on eliminating the scourge of the undead. In fact, all the faithful
of Kelemvor despise the undead and work to some
degree to eliminate them, for undead of any sort are
seen as an abomination of the natural order. This belief
obviously puts Kelemvor's faithful at odds with necromancers, priests of Myrkul, and others who promote the
creation of the undead, and it also causes conflict from
unexpected sources. For instance, priests of Kelemvor
routinely destroy any writings about the creation of the
undead that they find--an act that offends those who
value knowledge for its own sake, such as the faithful of
Oghma and Deneir. And there also exist undead that aren't evil, such as the baelnorn, which the elves consider
holy. Kelemvor's devotees seek the end of such beings
regardless of that fact.
