Hello, as a forward note, this topic may be offensive or "illegal" but please do not take offense at it, it is to discuss something. Thanks.

So far, I had been thinking Lord Kelemvor's roles as a Judge of the Damned or Judge of the Dead. Well, I know that Offical canon lore say he judges the dead fairly and with a strong sense of justice tempered with kindness and forthrightness. But these are some questions I seriously had been wondering about:

1) Imagine, if there are Faithless souls brought to him, Kelemvor recognizes them as righteous souls who fought for the cause of good during their mortal lives say like being Harpers, but one thing sure, they are Faithless. So is Lord Kelemvor going to say: "You did good in your past lives as Harpers, but you are Faithless. So I am sorry, but to hang you in the Wall of the Faithless as punishment." Is this fair to these good and righteous Faithless souls? After what they had done, surely they deserve better, say as a guard in Kelemvor's City of Judgement.

2) According to the FRCS, Kelemvor has a few deals with the devils of the Nine Hells, and he allows torture in his city of judgement, I mean is it befitting his role as a judge to sentence souls to the devils for torture? or simply hand over a few souls to these fiends because the fiends want it.
Also, demons tend to raid the Wall of The Faithless for souls, and surely, as a Lord of the realm, it was said he secretly allowed a few raids to happen even under his watch. I mean, if those souls are sentenced to hang in the wall, surely, he should get these souls back from the demons to rehang in the wall.

Sorry if this topic is a volatile topic, but its just a dicussion topic so please do not take offense. Thank you.

We've discussed this in one form or another in the past. One of them was only a few months ago. You could do a search for the, if you wish. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I have to agree with Kuje. This subject has been discussed many times, the most recent being in August of this year.

Here's a few scrolls that you may find interesting:-
