Hello, all! I'm new here, though not new to D&D. I have a question about a Cleric, 5e.

The character is a Cleric of Kelemvor ('cause it says so on the character sheet,) but not in the usual sense. He's a swordsman and a noble that I'm playing in a swashbuckling campaign. The "Cleric of Kelemvor" comes about not because of vows or churches, but because he is blessed by Kelemvor. Being a good Faerunian, he doesn't want to offend any of the many deities. So does he owe Kelemvor exclusively, just more than the others, or not in particular because Kelemvor did the choosing (as opposed to vice versa?)

Yeesh, pantheons...

Those of the realms honor many deities, certainly not all. Being Blessed by Kelemvor means nothing, unless the character upsets the deity and becomes cursed of Kelemvor.
In part it clearly depends on your DM, however in general usage, as I understand it, your character selected deity gats the most worship.

Of course you as a player do not want your character to be given that patron deity, you can fall from worship. You also can complain to the DM about giving you a character that you did not want.

"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."
