World Lore

Purgatory exists as a fact but Heaven and Hell are still up for debate as no one really knows what happens after Purgatory.

When a human dies, they see darkness and then a bright light. Then, they immediately wist away to a long waiting room that looks like a doctor’s waiting room. As you “check in” when your name is called, you are sent to the back office where you are asked questions—then when you go to Purgatory—it’s odd. It’s mediocre. No suffering, but no excitement either. It’s all weird, and Purgatory is considered a “gateway” so it has incomprehensible laws.

You are expected to stay here until you have a Purgatory assigned Guardian—or a “Purgatory Guardian”—to monitor how you react to Purgatory and also you at meant to serve your Guardian and they are meant to serve you. It’s like a mutually bound eternal internship where you are forever owed each other’s debt.

When humans go to Purgatory and they have unfinished business, that is taken care of before anything else. When there is such business, there is a physical object bounding the soul to Earth, and sometimes the human souls themselves don’t know what they are attached to, but they will feel a presence when they are near such a thing.
