They fled to the sky to Yesod, the piece of the Great Machine that was a control center. They used Yesod to create a portal to the heaven above, and went through. Through Yesod is the Ether, in which floats the Silver City, a place for tainted celestials who are not pure enough to enter heaven. Beyond that is the Gate, and beyond that is Heaven Prime, the realm of Gods only.When the Great Machine was sundered, and the celestial realms spun centriptially outward, an opposing reaction occured in the world. The Effluent of the great machine poured into an underworld. As people died, it became seperated into three parts:The Boneyard, where undead arise from, and where most of the unrighteous dead remain in torpor, The general netherworld, where the God of Ending has sway, and Iconia, where the blessed dead live on a beautiful land on a great hill.When you die, you soul goes to the boneyard, and you lie in torpor for a century, with only bones. If you were righteous or think you were, you make your way to the God of Ending for judgement, and dwell in Iconia.In the center of Iconia is the Pit, realm of devils, and the Abyss, realm of demons (in my cosmology: devils are fallen celestials, and demons the most corrupt form of humans)The comsology also comes with an eschatology: The dead should be going to heaven, but the netherworld began as a reflex of the great sundering.Oh, and every time you use a ressurection or raise dead spell, the "opposite reaction" law means that 1) and undead will arise from the boneyard too. 2) a corrupt soul will decend and become a demon. I use Atlas Game's "Touched by the Gods" book and include Death's Forsaken (pro-ressurection group that doesn't knwo this fact) and another group that is anti-ressurection because they know better.</blockquote>
