Once the god of strife, death, and the dead, he's now the seneschal and mentor of the current god of the dead, [[Kelemvor]], having mentored [[Myrkul]] and [[Cyric]] as well. ==History== Jergal was born from the first battles between [[Selûne]] and [[Shar]] alongside [[Garagos]] and [[Moander]]. He was worshipped as the god of strife, death, and the dead for many years, but he eventually became bored with his position (or felt remorse for having created [[Kezef]] the Chaos Hound), and so secretly guided three mortals [[Bane]], [[Bhaal]], and Myrkul on their journey to become gods. At the end of their journey, he revealed his hand in helping them and divided most of his portfolios among the three, and taking the position as the mentor and seneschal to the god of the dead. ==Dogma== Each being has an eternal resting place that is chosen for him or her at the moment of creation. Life is a process of seeking that place and eternal rest. Existence is but a brief aberration in an eternity of death. Power, success, and joy are as transitory as weakness, failure, and misery. Only death is absolute, and then only at its appointed hour. Seek to bring order to the chaos of life, for in death there is finalty and a fixedness of state. Be ready for death for it is at hand and uncompromising. Life should be prolonged only when it serves the greater cause of the death of the world. {{D&D5e-FR-Deities}}
