Nemorga, the Gray King, the Gatekeeper, and the Executioner, is the demigod of death and the underworld in Scarn.

History

No one is sure of Nemorga's origins. Some say that he is the son of Hedrada and Belsameth, though the churches of both gods deny this. Others say that Nemorga is not a god, but a being older than the titans.

During the Divine War, Nemorga didn't participate by fighting the titans, but instead took care of the gods who died by taking them to whatever afterlife awaited them, tough heretics will say that he instead absorbed their remaining power into himself.

Realm

Nemorga's realm of Limbo (not to be confused with the other Limbo) is much like Kelemvor's Fugue Plane, a vast, gray plain of nothing where the souls of those who didn't worship any god, only paid lip service to them, or worshipped Nemorga end up. Nemorga's mansion is located atop a mountain and is where his worshippers end up. The Gray King himself is never there, instead waiting in front of the gates of Limbo, judging souls and arranging them to be taken to their proper afterlife.

Appearance

The Gatekeeper is often depicted as an ageless man wearing heavy, hooded robes, a mask covering his face, a large book in front of him, and a scabbarded sword at his side. Other times he's depicted as a Grim Reaper, wielding a sword and an hourglass.

Worshippers

Actual clerics of Nemorga are rare, with most cities having maybe a handful of regular priests who oversee burial rites and burials. Clerics are usually found wandering, either destroying undead or doing quests for their god. The unofficial center of worship is in Hollowfaust, where the clergy of Nemorga are one of the seven guilds that govern the city.

Angels of Nemorga

Most followers of Nemorga regard murder and assassination as blasphemous, as The Gatekeeper is the god of death-in-its-alloted-time. The Angels of Nemorga also believe this, but they use their skills as assassins to kill those who they see, or are convinced they are, violating the natural order of life and death. Though found where the clercgy of Nemorga can be found as well, most priests consider them to be heretics.
