Jergal

Jergal was a god-king of the Discordians from the area that is now northeast Goneril on The Northern Continent. He was the heir of Erythnul, and active in the early years of the Second Age.
==Relationship to Forgotten Realms==
The Eon deity Jergal bears some similarities to the Forgotten Realms deity Jergal, but there are a few key differences. Instead of his portfolio falling to the Dead Three, a group of three mortal adventurers named Halal, Myrkul, and Avimeus split it amongst themselves. His portfolio was not officially sectioned into Murder, Strife, and the Dead. In Eon, the divisions of the portfolio are unclear at best to all but the finest religious scholars. Halal had the portion including self-destruction and tyranny, Myrkul had the portion including lightning and power, and Avimeus had the portion including law and dragonslayers.
According to the Ille Draconum Book Zero, Tiamat considered Jergal her friend.
==In Eon==
He was an obscure god even in his prime, and when he fell from godhood, he was all but forgotten. Jergal is the son of an Elder Evil, and was mentioned in the Ille Draconum in connection with Halal, Myrkul, and Avimeus. He is celebrated with a holiday in early November called Nosrep. This was actually separated into two holidays, one for the common people and one for his priests and clerics. People tend to die during this holiday. People tend to die a lot during this holiday. As of the time of Ille Draconum and the Legends of the Ages, (ca. 400 of the Second Age) Jergal had long since fallen from godhood, Halal and Myrkul slain by dragons or Fates, and Tiamat had co-opted Nosrep for herself.
Telamore and his crew encountered Halal's section of Jergal's portfolio during their journey through hell. The symbol embossed on the cover may, therefore, belong to either god. It is a six-fingered, gauntleted hand clutching lightning bolts. Ethan and the rest of Shadowwing, Inc. met a demi-lich cleric in the Ruins of Eldergrin in the service of Xenteroth who wore a silver figure of this as his holy symbol. Claire sneaked a look at the symbol in a mirror of True Seeing and saw that it truly was five stylized dragon heads rotating in a circle: Tiamat's symbol.
Barron Ganth and his daughter Rebecc-is have possessed Halal's third of Jergal's portfolio since the events in Ille Draconum. Ethan holds Avimeus' third. The locations of the other third is unknown.
