The Afterlife

hell and the great beyond

Astral Plane
Those who believe in Gaudium, (Latin: Joy) believe in an afterlife. This is very central to their religion as they believe it is a paradise in which people long to go to, leading to many voluntary suicides. This contrasts Christianity because it is not viewed as a sin. It is, however, imperative to spread the religion and this will gain favour with their God (Gaudium) and he will allow those who do the most for the faith to live close to him in the Afterlife. Prophets are never allowed to commit suicide, and may only die when the will of Gaudium is done. There is no hell in the Astral Plane, because the Earth is considered hell and children came from a deeper darkness. They believe killing someone is a divine gift to the target. Killing a sinner will give Gaudium power over the fate of them, whether he sends them back to the deeper darkness to be born again or to isolate them in the Astral Planes if they have only petty sins.
