I either didn't know or had forgotten how it all played out for him. As for the belief versus lip service...I don't know if simply believing in a god in Faerun is enough....their power is obvious. A person can even travel to a god's home and visit the petitioners there. So there has to be more to it than just belief. I would think living one's life according to the tenets put forth by a god...practicing what the God celebrates or promotes. If an individual does that,, then they've likely earned a patron deity,  whether they made a conscious decision about it or not.So in that case, I would think it would vary from deity to deity. A god like Bane might expect total devotion or even full on zealotry from his followers. Mystra may simply ask for devotion to magic. Chauntea may just require that a person be a farmer or something similar. The level to which each God would demand specific devotion and petitioning would certainly vary.I would think that if this somehow came up in game, the DM would have to fill in for Kelemvor and make a judgment about where the character would wind up in the afterlife. I don't think that it should be as simple as "no patron deity selected= soul mortar for the Wall".I could also see all kinds of immortal politics coming into play as the other gods seek to influence Kelemvor in his decision making. I can see that kind of story becoming a major part of a campaign. I think that'd have a lot of potential.</blockquote>
