    Being a god doesn’t normally come with job descriptions in the Forgotten Realms, so you don’t normally have a role (most of gods are incredibly hands-off). Myrkul was one of the few that had an actual place tied to their godhood, so he was supposed to maintain the underworld where the spirits and souls of the dead would go to.

    He enjoyed spreading fear of death and the dead, though.
