Heaven

Heaven is glorious. Heaven is perfect. Heaven is where the Great Bureaucracy of Spirits dwells. It’s a shining golden city full of parks and rivers, that stretches for a hundred miles in every direction, beautiful and perfect, surrounding the Palace of the Court of Heaven from whence the Fountain flows. All manner of bureaucrats live in this place, spirits whose purview covers all of creation - every stream, every raincloud, every city has a spirit and if they do not dwell in Heaven then they can be found on earth doing their duty. This animistic protocol manages all the world, even though only few humans (mostly Druids and their ilk) are even aware of it, having instead codified the pure power of the Fountain into the Arcana, for the purposes of understanding. The Tian Shi are born and dwell here, their human souls having ascended the cycle of reincarnation and been polished clean. Well, for the most part. Some of them are forced to go on assignment, down to earth. They’re seen with a mixture of pity and admiration, much like the janitor whose job it is to clean the mess you dare not touch. Heaven is a place one can travel to, with either the correct magic or the right permit and a means to go there, though its gates throughout the world are guarded by fearsome creatures. It is not impossible, by any stretch of the imagination, that we might see the hallowed streets of Heaven in the game sometime. Remember, Heaven is not a place the dead go; a sacred city yes, but no home for souls undone from their body. They are judged by karma in the halls of balance within heaven, and reassigned by the bureaucracy, who are very good at their jobs.
