[QUOTE="Telperion, post: 1860057, member: 15711"] The Scarred Land campaign setting I use has fairly good details on how to deal with souls, if you can read between the lines abit and have a good head for details. It isn't all spelled out in big letters or in a single place, but this is how it goes: While the titans were still ruling the world there was this thing called the Wheel of Life, or something like it. Don't recall the exact name right now. Anyway, everything and everyone had their own special place on this Wheel and every now and then they would leave this place to join the Mortal Coil. Once they died they went back to their designated place in the great Wheel of Life and the Wheel kept turning until it was time for that particular something or someone to leave the Wheel again and join the Mortal Coil. However, since the Divine War the Wheel has stopped and things aren't going so great anymore. The gods are happy with those who worship them and they take their followers souls and bring them to the god's personal Outer Plane after the follower dies. The trip is made in the company of a specifically designated Soul Guardian, which is basically an Outsider designated to see to it that every soul that leaves the Mortal Coil gets to its designated afterlife. So, what about all the other living things that don't worship the gods? Good question. The great Wheel of Life isn't turning anymore, so souls going that way are basically stuck in oblivion for all eternity (or until the gods decide to restart the great Wheel, which isn't going to happening anytime soon, since it was an artifact of the titans: the gods enemies). It really sucks not to be worshipping gods right now in the Scarred Lands, and that's the way the gods want it :). [/QUOTE]
