[QUOTE="nevin, post: 8118358, member: 7024481"] The gods are modeled after old pantheons. It's no different than getting to the river styx without your two pieces of silver and being trapped on that side of the river for all eternity because you were too poor to be buried with passage money. And in the Forgotten realms the gods represent all the alignments and AO is true neutral. Most of the gods aren't good they are nuetral and evil. The good gods may not be happy with the wall but I doubt they are going to risk thier power or followers to save the stupid souls who end up there. And I say stupid because you end up there if you don't believe in the gods. Not if you don't worship them, if you don't believe in them, in a world where you can go get healed at by your local cleric and people are raised from the dead, and clerics disintegrate undead by calling on the power of the gods. It sounds like you are trying to turn the Forgotten realms gods into the celestial hierachy or christianity but they are modeled after, old Greek, sumerian and bablylonian myths. Those gods were usually not friends of humanity. Humanity just lived in their world and sometimes caught their attention. Not doing what they said was usually disastrous for the offender. Doing what they said was often disastrous for the believer as well. In first edition forgotten realms they gods powers had nothing to do with worshipers. Which I always thought was more in line with fantasy. If I were going to make such a change in Forgotten Realm lore , I'd institute some method of difficult but potential salvation for those souls instituted by some power who just couldn't stand the horror of being forever doomed with no way out. Or maybe the realm of the dead gets attacked and they need armies to fight off thier enemies, so the God of the Dead changes the rules. Or go old school, In the orginal Forgotten realms the wall would be periodically attacked by other planes who would take the souls they freed back to their planes. It could just be that the wall is that place where random fate decides where in the universe non believers end up as they have no god that cares what happens to them. that would be a really minor change. the souls don't dissolve they just wait for some other plane to free them and put them to work.
