Limbo

The Realm of Lost Souls

Written by David_Ulph

Geography

The Spirit Realm of Limbo is exactly the same as the Mortal Realm of Terralba, with everything happening on Terralba being mirrored in real time on Limbo. When a person dies, their spirit is instantaneously transported to the same spot in Limbo while the rest of the mortals carry on with their lives not seeing the spirits that can see them. While Limbo mirrors Terralba, everything is monochrome and obscured by a thick mist.
There is a constant whistling noise like a strong wind, but there is no feeling of any wind at all. Limbo, and its denizens, are not affected by any weather on Terralba nor is there a day-night cycle either.

Fauna & Flora

Limbo is mostly populated by spirits glowing like lanterns in the mist. They can interact with one another if they find another spirit perfectly normally. The longer a spirit stays in Limbo without being transported to an afterlife, the easier it is for them to break out back into the Mortal Realm returning as ghosts.
As well as the spirits, eight celestial entities known by the Arcane Academy as the Reapers stalk this Plane. The Reapers are only visible to the spirits the Reaper is connected to, each one tasked with delivering one kind of soul to the Ferrymen that transport the souls to the afterlife.
