Worship of Jergal

[NegInfinity]

How relevant/widespread is worship of jergal in the server's realm?

Basically, from what I know, jergal kinda retired and handed its power over to dead three, but its worshippers pop up from time to time, which confuses the heck out of me.

Is jergal an obscure god of sorts now? Or is it a very well known deity?

The church of Jergal is small and secretive, a rigidly organized, almost monastic order of scribes known as the Scriveners of Doom. Based largely in lifeless stone mausoleums and dry, dusty crypts, its members spend their days maintaining and extending vast archives of scrolls listing how sentients under their purview passed away and their destination in the afterlife. Only in Thay, where death is a daily fact of life, has Jergal's church undergone a small renaissance. A handful of Jergal's followers still follow the old ways of the Companions of the Pallid Mask, an order whose members specialized in combating or commanding the undead whose existence was not sanctioned by the church or who had proven to be troublesome.
