The Afterlife

Most humans believe the souls of the recently deceased are spirited away to Malazanbar, where they wander the great City of Judgment, often unaware they are dead. The servants of the gods come to collect such souls and, if they are worthy, they are taken to their awaited afterlife in the deity's domain. Occasionally, the faithful are sent back to be reborn into the world to finish work that was left undone.
Souls that are unclaimed by the servants of the gods are judged by Kelemvor, who decides the fate of each one. Some are charged with serving as guides for other lost souls, while others are transformed into squirming larvae and cast into the dust. The truly false and faithless are mortared into the Wall of the Faithless, the great barrier that bounds the City of the Dead, where their souls slowly dissolve and begin to become part of the stuff of the Wall itself.
Elves believe in reincarnation, that upon death, Falon’Din accompanies your soul into the afterlife, from which you enter the Cycle and are reborn anew when the time is right. Depending upon how an elf has acted during life, this will impact on how it is that they return to Theas. There has been only one record in History of a person being reborn with all the memories from their past lives.
Dwarves call their deities The Ancestors and they are a collection of the greatest and best minds of their people, those that have achieved great things will ascend to join the Pantheon, either in service or as a new member. Those that aren’t considered worthy or who have been cast out of a clan, are referred to as being “Returned to the Stone”, the belief that they enrich the stone and allow the dwarves to prosper.
