Notes

According to datamined notes, Withers is Jergal. The datamined notes say that he is compelled by Helm to assist the players as penance for ^[2]^[3]
- The Jergal/Withers connection is also supported in game. He is found in a Chapel of Jergal, and the Crumbling Journal records another encounter with Jergal, with a description much alike Withers, and asking the same question that Withers does when you first meet him.^[4]

↑ From the Chapel dialog notes: "After the party has slain a group of undead scholars, the judge of death--Jergal--climbs out of his sarcophagus to greet them. He has been locked inside for years by the god Helm to atone for his part in raising the Dead Three, wicked gods who are now plotting to conquer the realms. Jergal is emotionless and excessively formal, both resigned to his fate and that of others. He is here to assist the party because that is his divine oath, not out of any true desire to act. Players can attempt to goad or attack him, but to minimal effect, as he is functionally immortal. His only goal was to see their faces, so he can find them at camp later to offer further assistance."
