[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 5731827, member: 54846"] I'd point out that the Shadowfell is also the plane of the dead. Unlike other settings where the dead do not pass go, do not collect $200, they go straight to the plane of the God that claims them (or the plane of the soul's alignment), souls in the 4e cosmology go to the Shadowfell. Then the Raven Queen, like Osirus or Hades or an afterlife traffic cop, directs souls where they are meant to go and makes sure they get there. So it's a combination of: The Underworld The Plane of Shadow The Negative Energy Plane (I presume this is just um, decay or entropy or something) Since you can't reckon the Shadow power source because it's not scientific, how did you handle the Plane of Shadow? :p Or that death is simply the absence of life but that's also a "thing".
