"I would like to ask the local cleric more about their religion, as being raised with an open mind to listen and learn (and only told of one legend story for bedtime in my youth)... Father Syrus didn't hold any belief himself, but he was still enjoying listening to others of their own..."
"... but right now, I don't think they would be open to... talking with me just yet... what with my gray skin and all..." ^^;

Father Aldurn closes his book before he continues.
"The Aether, and the Nether, both places one could access with the right resources. Heaven and hell. Death brings one of three options:"
"One: A soul that is virtuous, is given the gift of "creation," spirit awakening within the paradise of the aether, free to fly and create in true paradise for eternity.
Two: A soul that is vengeful, filled with hatred and spite, is bound to eternal damnation. Dread souls to become a part of the soul-sand that covers the nether realm.
Three: Some say, that within the realm of the void exists a form of purgatory. Lost souls wander the barren wastelands of the void and the endrealm, their former beings slowly stripping away, until they become akin to a pearlless enderfolk, screaming in the dark with powers they can't control."
"If you want to learn more, my child, perhaps you would like to attend one of my sermons!"
