The Deadlands Building / Landmark in Frigranden | World Anvil

The Deadlands

The Deadlands are a wide and varied landscape, with cities and villages, deserts and swamps existing in a pocket dimension. Followers of LLontel find themselves in the Deadlands after death. Restless dead are collected from the living world by Theondel and brought to rest here. Llontel oversees the dead, giving them the afterlife they deserve. Whatever they deserve, good and bad. Those who cause trouble or complain of their lot find themselves half-submerged in swamplands and nibbled on by fish and baby alligators until they apologize. Convincingly and several times.   Those resurrected from the Deadlands remember their lot in the afterlife and often either morn that they were forced to return to the land of the living or actively seek redemption and betterment before they return.

Entries

Faith opens a doorway upon death that only the dead spirit may enter. Resurrection can open a doorway for the spirit to return and the caster can compel the spirit to return to its own body in the living world.

Sensory & Appearance

Each soul experiences the Deadlands in the remembrance of the life they lived. Not just the best and the worst of their actions, but the culmination of what they had done and become. As such, even individual family members living together in the Deadlands may see their surroundings in a different light. A man may see a house full of the bustle and joy of the holidays, while a woman may cover her head to avoid the clamor and bright lights.
