Opinions differ on whether or not those who follow the Sovereign Host, the Dark Six, or other major faiths actually draw power from the gods or, like those who follow minor philosophical religions, from Siberys.It's also possible that the whole Siberys theory is incorrect, of course.The Blood of Vol, the Undying Court, the Keepers of the Past, and the Path of Light all lack deities to worship. It's possible that clerics of these faiths draw on the collective spiritual energy of, for instance, the community of believers (Blood of Vol), the deathless of Aerenal (Undying Court), spirits of the ancestors kept alive through emulation by their descendants (Keepers of the Past), or the future spiritual force of the Next Age (Path of Light).As noted by others, if you can be returned to life, it means that your soul was trapped in Dolurrh - whether or not there is a final reward or punishment beyond that plane is something no-one can know, because no power exists (at least so far) which can discover the ultimate fate of souls which fade from Dolurrh.Some Vassals of the Sovereign Host believe that Dolurrh is a place of cleansing to prepare the soul to join the Sovereigns in their realm beyond the planes. The Church of the Silver Flame teaches that worthy souls merge with the Flame itself after death. The Keepers of the Past believe that the spirits of their ancestors can live again in their descendants when they perform deeds worthy of the ancestor's own achievements. The Blood of Vol believes wholeheartedly in the miserable truth of Dolurrh, that the secret to eternal life is found in the living blood of mortal creatures, and that they can conquer death if only they can achieve this mystery.</blockquote>
