Order of Purgatory

A legend, and more than a legend, the Order of Purgatory is a myth even to those who are themselves merely myths to the world. An Order of Adepts who can only be created after one is dead? The Order takes its name from Purgatory, the semi-mythical location that a soul enters after death in order to purge itself of any final spiritual hangups. 
Purgatory, in one form or another, is held by the oldest of the churches but is generally rejected by the more modern denominations (with a few notable exceptions).

Purgators are unsuitable for player's characters. They are meant to be guides in the afterlife, not fighters or adventurers. If the player's characters do encounter a Purgator, it will be because either something has escaped from hell or the characters are across the Veil. Or the characters are dead (which sucks for them).
== Facts: ==
-The Order of Purgatory lives entirely within the realm of Purgatory, the ultimate nature and makeup of which remains a mystery to all but a few. 
-Purgators can only be transformed after death, when their souls encounter God in His aspect as the Purgator of Flaws. In the realm of Purgatory, this Order reigns supreme. 
-Purgators cannot leave Purgatory for extended lengths of time and retain their powers. They must return to this strange omni-dimension in order to refuel and recharge their abilities.
-Purgators can open doorways and bridges between Purgatory and other realms in existence.
-The Order of Purgatory does not really interact much with the other Orders, preferring to manage their own affairs in the realm of Purgatory. Adepts who do encounter the Purgators tend to be the unlucky individuals who have, for a variety of reasons, willingly entered Purgatory. 
== Purgatory: ==
Purgatory is a realm composed of different areas, all of them fantastic and bizarre, designed to represent various virtues and vices. Souls are purged by passing through this landscape which forces them to confront their own character flaws. 
The Purgators are in charge of keeping the hordes of Supernaturals who are home to Purgatory under control, and for guiding and instructing the souls who pass through there.

== Gatekeepers to Heaven?: ==
Some stories posit that, for Adepts trying to get to Heaven by crossing the Veil, they must first pass the trials of the Purgators. After all, nothing that is unclean should be allowed in Heaven, right? Adepts tell stories of being guided through torturous realms where they are forced to relive the failures and misjudgments of their lives.
