Land of the Dead

The Land of the Dead, also known as the Ghostlands, is the realm created in parallel to the material world by Nito and the god Yindaron near the dawn of time. It was forged as a place where the souls of the dead could await collection by psychopomps for transport into the Underworld where they could enter the cycle of reinacarnation. However, due to rare errors made by the Underworld spirits, some mortal souls become trapped eternally within the Ghostlands,  becoming a type of ghost known as a spectre. In addition, souls of great sin and corruption are occasionally damned by Nito to wander the Land of the Dead as they are barred from re-entering the world of the living in flesh. These evil souls are known as Everwalkers.
The Ghostlands resemble the material world, except that they are discoloured and swathed in drab grey mists, and everything has an appearance of decay and disrepair about it. Cities are crumbled, the countryside foggy and dim and the sky overcast and forboding. The lands are wandered by a great many ghosts, lost and confused as they acknowledge their own demise and await retrieval by inferi or a rahu.
