The Scouring

The Scouring is a place beyond the mortal realm that contains souls of those who worshipped Mantlers, as well as those unfortunate enough to have a run-in with them. The Scouring is also occasionally the holding of the souls who are lost or were evil in life, before eventually returning to become the Undead (how often this is is attested by many). Inhabited by Mantlers and other creatures that fall under that category, the Scouring is usually a place unfit for mortals, but as there are many "levels" of the Scouring, habitability depends on where at in the Scouring an individual may end up. The land is looked after by the Dark deities who call it home, and most live within their own "level". Others may choose to simply inhabit the "Grounds" (the toplevel).
