Petitioner Petitioner is the term applied to dead people ’ s souls , which made it in some way or another into another plane of existence than the Material Plane . Becoming a petitioner . Upon dying , a mortal ’ s soul was transported to the Fugue Plane . Once there , these souls counted as petitioners but didn ’ t have the attributes of one yet . They became full petitioners after entering the plane of their respective deities . Other petitioners received judgement from Kelemvor . The standards according to which judgement was handed were whether , which and how honestly someone followed a certain deity during its lifetime . The outcomes were called Faithless and False . Petitioner - normal . Normally , a soul of a dead mortal went to the Fugue Plane . Once there it waited until the deity it followed during lifetime or an agent of the same came and picked it up to the final destination , the realm , of its deity . In the deity ’ s realm , the petitioner became a full petitioner with all attributes of one . Normal Petitioners ’ attributes . A normal petitioner was a mindless being . They were physically re - modeled and stripped of all skills and abilities they accumulated over their lives as well as of any magical abilities they had by virtue of being a member of the race they belonged to during life but gained other attributes among others to not being able to leave their deities ’ plane barring resurrection . And on resurrection they forgot virtually everything about their time on the other plane . Normal Petitioners ’ duties . Despite its mindlessness a deity ’ s petitioner could be ordered to do just about anything but normally a petitioner ' s job was it to serve as extras , spear carriers , etc , in short as decoration for their respective deities ’ realms to present it in some specific way . Exceptions were made when a mortal ’ s skill in life were needed for some purpose on the plane of the deity , they still couldn ’ t leave it . For example , petitioners in Arvandor were re - modeled to look like handsome elves with exaggerated elven features , those who weren ’ t elves in life included , and were directed to spent eternity feasting and enjoying the beautiful environment . Different Types . Different types of petitioners existed . Faithless . A Faithless was a soul of someone who never believed in a deity , for example by not knowing that they existed during lifetime , or only paid lip service to it . They were sent to form the Wall of the Faithless as its bricks for punishment for their lack of faith by Kelemvor . They got eventually dissolved by the wall but could , at least in theory , leave the Fugue Plane . False . A False was the soul of someone who intentionally swayed from his faith in life . These were judged and punished according to their deeds in life . The punishment was enacted by Kelemvor and Jergal but the content was determined by the deity the petitioner swayed from . It always consisted the aspect of an assignment as eternal labor force in the City of Judgement . The punishment went from something light as to work as an escort to the torturous sort that demons were incapable to come up with . Kelemvor allowed a number of devil s to randomly torture citizens of the City of Judgement . The only one who could stop it was Kelemvor but he was known for never doing this . A False couldn ’ t be resurrected without the consent of the deity from whom the soul swayed from in life after the original deity went through a negotiation with Kelemvor . Like the Faithless , the False were also capable of leaving the Fugue Plane , all at least in theory . Others . Devils were allowed by Kelemvor to negotiate with souls while they were on the Fugue Plane . These souls could bargain for a position in the Nine Hells , starting at the bottom as a lemure or somewhere higher depending on the power of the soul and outcome of its bargain . Demon s were also tolerated by Kelemvor to attack and take some Faithless from the Wall of the Faithless and subsequently raid the City of Judgement to kidnap some False with them . Kelemvor , as mentioned before , tolerated this but moved against the demons when collateral damage became too high for him to endure . Petitioners who were brought into the Abyss became mane s and were unlike other petitioners capable of leaving their plane , in other words the Abyss . A vhaerath was a special type of petitioners who not only retained their skills in life but could also leave their deity ’ s , Vhaeraun ’ s , realm Ellaniath .
