description: 'When a mortal dies, their soul travels to the __Boneyard__ in the Outer
Planes where they are judged by __Pharasma__, the goddess of the dead. Once they
have been judged, their soul is sent on to their final reward or punishment in the
afterlife, and in the process is transformed into a creature known as a petitioner.
This process grants the soul a new body, one whose shape is the result of the prevailing
philosophical forces of the plane to which it is sent. The petitioner''s memories
from their life are typically wiped nearly clean, allowing them to retain only a
few hazy fragments akin to half-remembered dreams. Regardless of the petitioner''s
size, power, or nature in life, they''re a Medium creature in their afterlife.
Existence as a petitioner can last for eons, but this state is not necessarily eternal.
Deities, powerful denizens of the Great Beyond, or even the outer planes themselves
can further change the petitioner''s nature by transforming them into raw quintessence,
spiritual essence that is then used to expand a plane''s physical manifestation,
or by transforming the petitioner into a new form of supernatural life such as a
__celestial__, __monitor__, or __fiend__. Should a petitioner die, their body breaks
down in a process akin to decay, their nature reverting back to the quintessence
or elements that make up their plane. This represents the true end of a soul''s
journey: their associated life essence travels back to the heart of the Great Beyond
to be recycled into the __Positive Energy plane__, fueling the creation of entirely
new souls.'
