Telhea

The Eventual Realm

And there I was, a wandering soul in the world of the dead. You can't begin to grasp the size of everything until you witness it. And you can't witness it and... well live to say the tale let's say. But I did and I am here to tell it.
— Voss the Undying, Adventures of a Restless Soul


Telhea is the only realm inaccessible to any mortal creature through magic or other means. Reaching it through Euon has only been theorized. It is considered to be the last resting place of any denizen, mortal or immortal of the Denary realms.
Telhea's crystallized ground, illuminated by Hemera or Nyx as they descend towards Macaria, absorbs and retains the light that comes from the lake, using it to stay in a state of permanent luminence, albeit somewhat pale in comparison to natural light.
The soul of every creature, intelligent or not, ends up in Telhea. They enter through Euon and once their name is registered in the Ledger of Fate they are allowed to visit the outside part of the palace, awaiting their judgment in front of the Eternal Judges. Until that time they are left free to wander around Telhea, talking with other souls or contemplating their existence.
While it might have been impossible to know of the intricacies of life after death, a limited number of people over the course of time have been resurrected. One of them, Voss The Undying has managed to get himself resurrected two times, both by his son. It is by his account that we know what transpires within Telhea, documented in his book Adventures of a Restless Soul.

Geography

Telhea is a giant luminous disk submerged within Macaria, glowing eternally. In the middle of the realm, surrounding Euon, lies Jahanna, the enormous crystal palace of Sudena and her children. The crystallized surface allows someone to look down, directly into the depths of Macaria where the souls of the Judged float in eternity.

Fauna & Flora

Nothing can be considered alive in Telhea, except Sudena and the Vigil. With them being immortals and the rest of the creatures residing in the realm being souls, there is nothing else that grows naturally or can be cultivated. This means that there are no animals, no plants or any other kind of life.

Natural Resources

There are no natural resources in Telhea, besides the crystal that comprises the land and Jahanna. That crystal however can't be gathered in any way.
