Life and Death

== The Circle of Souls ==
The subject of life and death is a complicated one in Kanatral - a subject that becomes even more complicated when one involves events such as the Purging and Rending. According to the Church of Heos, when a mortal dies their soul is sent to the destination their deeds in life earned them. In the contrasts of black and white in which the priests of the church typically adhere to, this means one either heads towards eternal bliss in the Beatifold or eternal damnation in the Deorfold. However, the issue is much more complicated than that and even the church itself is well aware that this is merely a simplified statement of a much more complicated fact. A prudent or learned person might ask a question such as, "what happens to the soul of a Felthona when it passes?" The answer is one that many of the various religions have sought to answer and as for the church itself, those higher in the hierarchy may well know the secret and keep it hidden from the masses.
Felthona that are slain in the Kanafold do indeed have their souls sent back where they came from. The horrible truth, however, is that these souls will almost certainly allow themselves to be drawn back into "life" crossing into the Thonafold. Having already tasted rebirth once, these souls practically hunger for it when they are slain or die in the Kanafold. What this means is that this same Felthona may yet find its way back into the Kanafold again to sow terror. The highest priests of the church know that eventually the Thonafold will be so full of souls that eventually they will pour out more and more frequently until at last they will invade the world entire. What happens then is anyone's guess as is the time the Thonafold will fill enough that the Deor will urge them onward to claim the Kanafold for themselves. Some speculate that this will cause the Beatifold to throw aside their inhibitions and react in kind, sparking a holy to restore balance. It is possible, in fact, that an angel's purity might severe the corruption in a Felthona and send them directly to the Deorfold or Devafold where they belong though no mortal has seen this to know if it is more than fanciful story or myth.
