If I was a Kelemvorite who died, I would probably accept that my Lord had called me, and I had died. I wouldn't be seeking to return. If I *DID* return, I wouldn't be too happy with the people who, knowing my beliefs, decided to violate them and possibly rip me from the side of my God.

However, you'd have to work out what is feasible IC with your character.

Some things in the mud can't be done, depending on your faith - but that's personal choice. Rhel would never be a party to extremely dangerous or reckless magic, nor would she destroy Art. Other faiths have similar restrictions, it's just up to the player wether their character follows them or not.

My personally opinion is, as a player with a character that's got a character applying to join Kelemvor's faith, that she will want to come back, should she ever die, so that she can continue to serve Kelemvor. She's an elf, after all, so she believes, or will believe, that she can serve him for many hundreds of years to come.

Yes, I know Kelemvor is a 'human' deity, but I kinda like being a little different

In my opinion if you are going to serve death, you must trust in death, and in doing so, you have to believe when you die that you can ACCEPT death. Elves in the Forgotten Realms setting have a set of beliefs that stemms from a desire to find rest in the Elven home (I cannot pronounch Arvandor, so I will not attampt to spell it) So when they die from an ic prespective they stay dead. Oocly speaking of course, you should not have to stay dead, however if you want to rp being a Kelemvorite you should rp death appropriately, and not see it as a slight annoyance, but as the next step, you should do your best to wait patiently to be raised divinely after praying or apply for an imm to raise you if you feel you cannot wait. This might be hard to do and seem unfair in the play of things, but it is the right thing to do. Remember that as long as you try your best, no one can expect more or less of you, have a good time and do your roleplay justice.
