According to traditional myth, Fergjol can be bribed to take the deceased to Evtarm if provided more than the required payment, but this is a double-edged sword: if too much payment is given, Fergjol could judge the deceased as a sinner and carry them to Grodjre. Alternatively, if the deceased lived too wicked a life, then Fergjol will carry the deceased to Grodjre no matter how much payment is given.

=== Hortoro ===
Hortoro is the overall name of the "Realm of the Dead," or the afterlife. It is divided into two realms: Evtarm, the realm of paradise, and Grodjre, the realm of damnation. 
==== River Zalje ====
Myth says that when a person dies they find themselves on a dock on one side of the River Zalje. To cross the Zalje to get to either realm of Hortoro, the deceased were required to pay the ferryman Fergjol. This gave rise to the practice of burying the dead with a few coins.
==== Evtarm ====
Evtarm is the afterlife of paradise. Evtarm is traditionally described as a realm of abundant flowery fields where the souls of those who lived virtuous lives reside. Most traditions describe the inhabitants of the fields as running bare naked, free from worries or shame.
===== Herchall =====
Herchall is the "Hall of Heroes," a vast dining hall within Evtarm where great warriors may eat, drink and make merry before being allowed to relive the greatest battles of their lives if they so desire. 
==== Grodjre ====
Grodjre is the afterlife of damnation. Grodjre is traditionally described as a realm of gloom, where the light barely shines through think dusty clouds and no plant-life of any kind grows.
===== Danjpherio =====
Danjpherio is the maximum security prison with Grodjre, where the worst of the worst, whom committed the most wickedly heinous of deeds during their lives, are imprisoned form all eternity.
