(12 distinct Heavens)  Worshippers of demons are typically turned into larva and either eaten or sold to nighthags or liches for food.Worshippers of devils usually have a contract already drawn up, and often serve as a slave for a set amount of time before they are transformed into a quasit, or higher order devil, with possibility of promotion. Followers of the Medean Philosphies (which the psychic orders are a part of) also go to the planes of Ascension.  Followers of the angelic religions of  the Verandi are taken directly into one of the Heavens by their patron angel, to serve as warriors in battles against the demons, devils, and forces of Abomination.  Followers of the Old Goth gods are taken to serve as warriors in battles against each other, each of the gods seeking to reunite a shatered plane and place themselves as its ruler, and the souls of their worshippers either serve as cannon fodder, or are used as currency to pay yugoloth or other outsider armies, or as fuel to power magical construct warmachines.And lastly, followers of Abomination or his Outer God masters are devoured and their souls absorbed by their faceless gods, but they are usually already gibberingly insane by that time anyway.I have things fairly extensively mapped out <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
