Queetco

Queetco is called a holy land in numerous religions originating from Jakoni and Dralvarus. It is sometimes called the land between life and death, and it is thought to be where spirits, rather than the living, may build cities and live out their afterlives. Some regard this as a permanent afterlife for the dead. Others, however, believe that this is merely a temporary place for spirits to remain until a god comes and whisks them away to a "true" afterlife. Consequently, Queetco has no towns to speak of -- none that the living may see, anyway. Some clerics claim that they've seen ghosts roaming Queetco, furthering the belief that spirits have taken up residence in the holy land.
The actual lands of Queetco are barren and craggy with not even a single flower that blooms in the dead soil. Legends speak of how to a spirit, it is a bountiful land of fertility and lush life to ease the pain of being separated from the dead's previous lives. As pilgrimages to Queetco for the purposes of honoring the dead are commonplace, those who have made the journey warn of "mirages" where one might see water or oases in the distance; it is a sign that the boundary between life and death is growing weaker, and that death itself is nearby. Those who claim to have seen such mirages also say they heard chains rattling until they left the area and the mirages disappeared.
