DOGMA

Recognize that death is part of life. It is not an ending but a beginning, nor a punishment but a necessity. Death is an orderly process without deceit, concealment, and randomness. Help others die with dignity at their appointed time and no sooner. Speak against those that would artificially prolong their life beyond natural limits, such as the undead. Do honor to the dead, for their strivings in life brought Faerun to where it is now. Forgetting them is to forget where we are now, and why. Let no human in all Faerun die a natural death without one of Kelemvor’s clerics at his side.

Origin

15 Uktar, year of the Wandering Fate 1478
My one great sin in this life will be Killing My Father…
In doing this I will be taking The Lord of the Dead’s decisions into my own hand and disrupting the flow. I may not know much of the world, but I know this to be true.

What a terrible way to start a new journal…It is my birthday and all I can think about is death.
 Abbot Sullis tells me that writing down my thoughts will help me see the bigger plan that our Lord Kelemvor has set for us. I’m sure he’s right, the man always is it seems, but sometimes its difficult to see. Beginnings are best viewed from the beginning. So I will start myself there.
My earliest memories are of skulls grinning down on me. That seems like a morbid place to grow up, but there was always joy within the Temple. Remembering those that have come before us and celebrating their lives. Back then the Abbot was only one of the Senior Brothers, but he was still a good man and able to see past the sins of my birth… Sullis was the one that convinced the Order to keep me and train me. They have never told me much of my parents. The Persists say my mother brought me to the Church just long enough to hand me over and warn them of my Father’s bloodline. Abbot Sullis says at first the only sign of him within me was my eyes; but it didn’t take long for my tail and horns to begin to show themselves.

As I grew it was always Sullis’ voice that helped me along the path of our Lord and fist showed me how to ease the passing into the next world. His guidance though the rights of Shieldmeet and the Feast of the Moon taught me how it is our duty to release tortured souls into the care of Lord Kelemvor.

16 Uktar, year of the Wandering Fate 1478
It seems that our Lord has plans for me. Before sending me out into the world Abbot Sullis and some of the Senior Brothers took me aside saying they had things to share with me. No word of warning that they were about to change my life. It turns out my Father was more of a problem than they ever let on to me. It turns out that my Mother knew more than they told me. It turns out I have a birthright to inherit.

17 Uktar, year of the Wandering Fate 1478
I keep looking at the medallion the Order gave me. They say that it was my Father’s, left for me, but they don’t know why. Theres magic within it, I can feel the crackle any time it touches my skin. Running it though my fingers, I can tell the wood is old. That doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of its mystery. It is heavy, feels more like Iron than it does wood. The carving on it is as deep and clear as if it were made new. But the thing gives a timeless feeling. Burned into the face of the medallion are three wings, one made of flame, one made of the sea, and the third torn from an angel. The idea that the third wing is from an angel wont come out of my head. Especially since the Order has warned me that the sigil is from an ancient cult that they thought had been destroyed. From what they know, the cult sought the destruction of the Balance that our Lord has created between the living and the dead. We cant let this happen!

18 Uktar, year of the Wandering Fate 1478
They tell me I need to find my Mother. She gave birth to me, but is she truly my Mother still? We are taught to honor life. She is the one who gave me life, and then left me to it, helpless and at its mercy. I don’t even know her name. But she isn’t the real problem. He is. All the darkness of his kind imprinted onto me. The rage. The mistrust. The fear. There are times I can feel the presence that has tainted me. The Order has shown me how to put souls to rest, but I can’t seem to rest my own. Once he is dead, maybe then I will have that peace.

It seems odd. I have been out of the Church for 3 months now. I have been searching for her for 3 months now and and finally I have progress! A name. Its not much, but its more than I had. My Mother’s name is Kara Lygotth. Now I just need to find her. And kill Him. (is that too hopeful?)

28 Tarsakh, year of the Ageless One 1479
Lord Kelemvor works in odd ways sometimes. He is a God of the Balance, but part of me feels he may be feeling a little literal and ironic today. I have met some travelers and it seems our paths shall run together for a while.Their band is headed to Oakhurst, a village where it seems my Mother spent some time in her youth. Where the Lord seems to be having His fun with me lies in one particular of them. Raziel, an Aasimar. There is no mistaking his linage, just as there is no hiding mine. Understandably, he seems wary of me, but thats no suprise. The Order may be used to me but three months outside have quickly shown me how deep my Father’s Sin runs.

29 Tarsakh, year of the Ageless One 1479
Another traveler has joined us today, a stout fellow named Lodin Geryhar. He appears to be some kind of dwarf, but the largest dwarf I’ve ever seen! Raziel is continuing to keep his distance.
The guide that was leading the travelers I stumbled across says that we’re making good time and should reach Oakhurst within a tenday

30 Tarsakh, year of the Ageless One 1479

Well, that didn’t take long. Two days of travel together and Raziel and I have already found our differences run deeper than skin. Turns out he’s not a fan of religion. A descendant of an angel who turns their back on the Gods. A descendant of a devil, who seeks their salvation in the Gods

FEATURE: Choose or randomly determine your inheritance from among the possibilities in the table below. Work with your Dungeon Master to come up with details: Why is your inheritance so important, and what is its full story? You might prefer for the DM to invent these details as part of the game, allowing you to learn more about your inheritance as your character does.

The Dungeon Master is free to use your inheritance as a story hook, sending you on quests to learn more about its history or true nature, or confronting you with foes who want to claim it for themselves or prevent you from learning what you seek. The DM also determines the properties of your inheritance and how they figure into the item's history and importance. For instance, the object might be a minor magic item, or one that begins with a modest ability and increases in potency with the passage of time. Or, the true nature of your inheritance might not be apparent at first and is revealed only when certain conditions are met.

When you begin your adventuring career, you can decide whether to tell your companions about your inheritance right away. Rather than attracting attention to yourself, you might want to keep your inheritance a secret until you learn more about what it means to you and what it can do for you.

Abbot Sullis Barris (53, Human Male) - joined the Order of Kelemvor after his wife and daughters died from exposure in the Long Winter. Becoming a Brother, Sullis found that he excelled at the Rites of Passage and quickly rose as a prominent Exorcist within the Order. During the Feast of the Moon 1456, Kelemvor reached out and gave Sullis a vision of a child balanced between a dark male and a woman who’s light was fading. When T’var was brought to the Order it became clear to Sullis that the child would one day be important to the Order. He kept close watch on the child and began to teach T’var the Rites of Passage. In 1473 Sullis was raised to the position of Abbot of the Order of Kelemvor at Hillsdeep.

Kara Lygotth (42, Human Female) - mother. Life history not know.
