Is Jergal still a God? Does he have a portfolio? I think he retained some dominion over stuff when he gave his godly power to the dead 3 but I'm not a lore expert and I don't remember.
If he's just a convenient plot device to have easy access to revivify I'm going to be very disappointed.
He is the scribe of the dead, “The final Scribe”. He’s likely the oldest god in the forgotten realms (next to AO). Even though he is a lesser deity now he was once a greater one, but got board and gave his powers away to the dead three. Jergal was also exempt from AO’s banishment during the Time of Troubles. He may even be close to being an over god like AO though subservient to him. The only other potential over god in the realms is the God born Dead Atropus.
A pretty good Reddit about him here:
