__TOC__
==Overview==
As the newly-made Lord of the Dead, Kelemvor has consolidated his position by creating several special priests. The mortarch is a priest who specializes in consecrating graves, maintaining the knowledge of burial customs, and comforting the bereaved.
==Description==
Mortarchs dress in elegant but somber robes of dark blue and light grey, and they wear silver circlets on their brows. Any weaponry that they carry must be hidden within the folds of their robes, as mourners are unsettled by the sight of brandished weapons.
==Role-Playing==
Death is but a part of life, and mortarchs try to teach this to the living. Death is not to be feared, although it is not also to be prematurely embraced either. Death is simply the end of the normal mortal cycle. The undead are an abomination against that proper cycle of life and death.
All souls have the right to a decent burial regardless of their actions in life; a mortarch does not judge the dead—that is the duty of the gods. Every corpse must be treated with dignity, from the lowliest guttersnipe to the mightiest king, since respect for the deceased bespeaks respect for the Lord of the Dead.
==Special Abilities==
Mortarch have access to a special bless spell. When cast on a grave, the grave itself can turn away undead at the same level as the casting priest. The body buried in that grave also cannot become undead. The bless lasts for one year per level of the priest. Mortarchs are also able to turn undead as if they were one level higher than they actually are.
==Special Disadvantages==
Mortarchs can only use clubs, hammers, horseman's maces or flails. They cannot cast raise dead or resurrection, nor use any items which duplicate those spells.
