Path of Souls

The Path of Souls is a divine river that contains mortal souls from the Material Plane. The Path appears from a distance like a massive, winding silver thread. Those who approach can see the countless souls moving through a silver haze, like so many schools of fish. Once detached from their mortal vessels, souls pass through the Ethereal Maelstrom, joining each other on their way out of the Inner Sphere through Locus'Autem and into the Astral Sea. Traveling though the Astral Sea the souls arrive at the Eternal Throne. It is there that Ales judges them, and sends the soul thier an Outer Plane as their final resting place.

The path is overseen by psychopomps, celestial buracrats that work for Vulpus Corvum. These forces attempt to protect the souls in transit from malicious forces,such as night hags and the much more dangerous astradaemons. The former travel to the Astral Sea from their homes on the Ethereal Maelstrom and are always in search of souls to steal and sell to the highest bidder on the Lower Planes. The latter constantly hunt for souls to consume and take back to their masters on Apollyon.
