Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kichwas" data-source="post: 93874" data-attributes="member: 891">In my own world (Fahla) the Gatekeeper is the god of death and rebirth; guardian of the well of souls.It takes a very keen interest in making sure ALL souls follow their proper course.If you want to 'go back' to a past life you had better get one of the gods to come there in person and explain to the Gatekeeper what makes you so darned special and who the heck they think they are to even ask it to let them keep one soul from being reborn (most gods are afraid to do this for fear they might get 'pushed' through the well; though saying such is a heresy in the church's of most lands).If by some means a mortal finds a way to trick the process and avoid rebirth by returning to their past life; they can expect a lot of 'visits' from the Gatekeeper's few followers in the mortal world.They might also find a lot of the divine beings trying to 'distance themselves' from that particular tricky mortal and any who ally themselves with said mortal.Both good and evil divine beings will do this.However if the Gatekeeper is somehow convinced to let a soul go back to it's past life and interupt the cycle everybody will turn a blind eye and try their best to act like it never happened and they have no idea who that mortal is... But the Gatkeeper and it's followers will remember. When that soul inevitably appears before the Well again... the Gatekeeper will be a lot less talkative and a lot more hurried about pushing it through into the next life.Once a soul is into it's next life (3 days after death) any magic that recalls it to it's past life will have to answer to the death of the new life and whatever repercussions that incurs.</blockquote>
