Empyrean, also known as Heaven or Torm's Gift, was a plane of existence and home to
Torm himself, and his companion
Sune. Empyrean is widely known as a realm accessible only by the honored dead, open to the souls of the truly good and brave of
Naneth. In Empyrean, these souls endure for eternity, walking among the gold halls and partaking in great feasts each evening.
History
At the end of the
Age of Creation, after the
The Betrayal and the subsequent conflict between
The Eres, Empyrean was created. As the Eres left Naneth, many retreated into parallel dimensions, in which they could keep an eye of the inhabitants of Naneth from. Empyrean was Torm's creation, and it was his intent to create an eternal home for Sune and himself, while offering refuge to the souls of Naneth's bravest, once their time had come.
Access
Accessing Empyrean is thought to be impossible for living mortals, as only those that have passed on, have the chance to enter Torm's paradise. Those that show purity, strength, honour, and other virtues in life, have a chance to enter Empyrean upon their death. Of course, each soul that passes upon Naneth falls into
The Void, under the care of
Kelemvor. From here, the souls are shepherded by Kelemvor to either Empyrean, or
The Underblaze, depending on their deeds in life.
