This Jergal (jer-gull) is a inhumane, wizened, insubstantial mummy of some ancient, alien race and is became bored with his position of power ( as a greater good ). I realy think this is strang. I once read in one book (can't remember which one) that hee destroyed a greater demon withh his dark "robe" ore somthing...... We have a figure - we dont know his race - and we dont know what he is doing - he has no greater goal we know of... what the XXXX this is realy spoky. |

I'v always felt there is soemthing planned for Jergal...but I'm not sure if I buy the "Age of Worms" explaination for Jergal (though I do admire Eric L. Boyd's Realms conversion of the adventuring path  ) |

That's true.
I suppose if Jergal really required a mortal servant for a time, he could just empower a certain worshipper for a limited period of time . . . kind of like a "temporary Chosen" or (winks at the Sage - - a Divine Champion).
After the deed is done, the Champion is immediately returned to his/her regular status and Jergal once again resumes his position of disinterest with the Realms.

Powers & Pantheons says he played no part in the ToT; it's likely that since he only deals with dead folks, he escaped being chucked down with the rest of the deities. Or, if he was chucked down, he prolly found a nice quiet mausoleum to hang out in for the duration.

As I recall, Tom Costa used the words "Jergal is mysteriously said to have played no part in the Time of Troubles." Which could suggest, perhaps, that it was expected Jergal would have something to do with the ToT.

thats true..but he did though, before giving up most of his portfolio...and he governed undeath...so there maybe some ancient undead Chosen of Jergal "floating" around somewhere |

History
Jergal is an ancient deity, older than many of the greater gods of Faerûn. In the time of Netheril, he was a greater deity himself, with the portfolios of the Dead, Murder and Strife. With the long aeons, he became bored with his position of power, and allowed for three mortals, known as the Dead Three, to each take up parts of his divinity. Bane assumed the portfolio of Strife, Myrkul the rulership of the Dead and Bhaal the portfolio of Murder. Jergal himself faded from his great stature became a seneschal to Myrkul, a position he was allowed to remain in even after his master perished and Kelemvor assumed his place.
Ethos
In ethos, Jergal is colder and more inhumane than his master, sanctioning the use and creation of undead by his followers, provided they serve the cause of advancing death in the world. He is not evil or malicious, but impassively records the death of all things. Jergal (jer-gull) is the fatalistic senschal of the Lord of the Dead who keeps records on the final disposition of all the spirits of the dead. Both bland and excessively formal, he never angers and always speaks with a disembodied, chilling voice that echos with the dry whisper of a long forsaken crypt. The Lord of the End of Everything strives only for an orderly accounting of the fate of the world as it slowly sinks into death.
"Jergal appears as a wizened, insubstantial mummy of some ancient, alien race. His skin is gray and tightly drawn across his frame. His bulbous, yellow, lifeless eyes and insectoid mandibles resemble a cross between a humanoid and a preying mantis. His ears and nose are barely distinguishable from his elongated skull. Most of his body is covered with an utterly lightless cloak that seems to absorb the very atmosphere that envelops it. His white gloves cover elongated, claw-like hands and forearms."

The various Cormyr-related sourcebooks for example, as well as those dealing with the Dales.

Victor, if you pester him enough . . . he may just send you a copy. If you're interested. 
I don't think I can, unfortunately. It's been uploaded to the planewalker.com archives. Though if Victor is interested, he can look through the archives himself and save a copy of the listing.

He'll be able to assist you.
