Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aristotle" data-source="post: 2108406" data-attributes="member: 5885">As far as the quote goes... It's been my .sig here pretty much since the day I joined. I've always loved that quote, the Openheimer story, and the powerful way the words feel when put together like that. As far as Death in my campaign.Death holds no power in my current homebrew. When a mortal dies their soul ascends to the realms of creation. No mortal can enter the realms of creation while living, and souls are not able to relay what they might know of those realms to the mortal world in any way. After a time the soul returns to the world in new form. This cycle is endless. Reincarnation is understood to be the norm. This plays down the importance of death enormously. Death is a natural part of the cycle of life, and it is accepted as such. The only exception is Hell. Some souls are too destructive or chaotic to be permitted to continue within the cycle of life. These souls are judged by the one true god and, if found guilty, placed in an extradimensional prison realm known as Hell. Some souls have been known to offer enough penance to be freed from Hell and put back into the cycle, but most have no hope of ever leaving this place. Note the setting emphasizes law vs. chaos rather than good vs. evil. Chaotic souls are removed. It's a common wivestale that 'evil' people are reincarnated in lesser forms as repayment for their evil ways, but no gospel exists that proves that belief to actually be true.</blockquote>
