the afterlife
Regions Of The Afterlife
All those who have passed away reside in the Afterlife. There are three main gathering areas in the Afterlife - Asphodel, Utopia, and The Underworld. When a horse dies, they are immediately sent to Asphodel, which serves as the general lands of the Afterlife, similar to the Free lands of the mortal world. There are no rulers in Asphodel and horses may come and go as they please.
The aligned areas of the Afterlife consist of Utopia and The Underworld. Utopia fights for the cause of good and justice in the world and is typically filled with equines of good intentions. The Underworld strives for chaos and evil and is filled with equines who are usually evil at heart. These sections of the Afterlife are ruled by a Lord and Lady.
Horses in Asphodel may decide to join an aligned portion of the Afterlife by speaking to the Lord and/or Lady of either Utopia or The Underworld. To do so, please post in the Judgment board.
In addition to containing regions for the deceased only, the Afterlife also contains areas where mortals may enter. These areas are Eden and Videnie.
To read more about each region of the Afterlife, see the Location page. To read more about the origins of the Afterlife, please read the History page.
Battles And Soul Stealing
Battle mechanics and steal mechanics function a little differently in the Afterlife, as Afterlife characters have no physical bodies to fight with or to have stolen. However, Afterlife characters may engage in soul stealing. These different mechanics are covered in the Lands, Stealing & Battling page.
Reincarnation
If you wish to bring a character of yours back to life after they have died and been posted in the Cemetery board, you may do so through the Afterlife. Characters in Utopia/The Underworld can appeal to their respective leaders for reincarnation. Characters in Asphodel can also appeal to either Utopia or the Underworld to request reincarnation. Reincarnated characters will not remember their past life immediately from birth, but may gradually remember it as they age.
If the Lord/Lady agrees to do so, you must fulfill the following requirements:
» You must find either a relative or a willing or unwilling mother to birth the reincarnated character.
» The character seeking reincarnation must thread with the mother and have a minimum of 2 posts each. This thread must be linked to in the breeding post. The father can be included in the thread, but they are not required to be.
» The normal breeding thread or a donor item is also required for the breeding.
» Reincarnated characters cannot be the fathers or mothers of their own reincarnation.
Please note that reincarnated characters will not look exactly like the original character, as their stats will be rolled just like any other birth.
