Mortarch

Mortarchs were a specialty preist of the Church of Kelemvor.

Activities
Mortarchs were priests whose specialization lied in the arts of funerals. Their main duties were to consecrate graves, maintain and pass on knowledge regarding burial customs, and to provide comfort the grieving family members of the deceased.

Abilities
Mortarchs used a unique version of the bless spell. This spell was cast on graves to both prevent the buried corpse from becoming undead and also to keep undead creatures away. This effect lasted a full year. Mortarchs were capable of turning undead creatures more powerful then themselves. They were unable to cast raise dead or resurrection or wield any magical item that duplicated the effects of those spells.

Possessions
The dress of a mortarch were robes of dark blue and grey. The weapons carried by the priests were clubs, flails or maces and were always carefully concealed under these robes, in respect for mourners.
