Cathedral of Silence Priestess Rhie: The Seven Reapers were mortal heroes who fought beside Grenth when he defeated Dhuum. He rewarded them by elevating them to become his immortal avatars. : Anything else about them? Priestess Rhie: They govern the various regions of the Underworld—the Labyrinth, Bone Pits, Chaos Planes, and so forth. In 1330 AE, a new portal to the Underworld appeared, and a mysterious spirit reached to mortal adventures with a plea for help to defeat an ancient foe threatening the realm. The spirit was eventually revealed to be Grenth's first follower, the Red Witch Desmina, who was assisted by the Seven Reapers and a squad of mortal raiders to defeat their mutual foe, Dhuum, who had broken free from his bonds and was feasting on the souls delivered by the River of Souls in preparation to take over the Underworld and invade the mortal realm. The former god of death was eventually sealed within the Hall of Chains but with a great cost of the lives of the Seven Reapers due to Desmina's alterations to the ritual, leaving the Underworld under the Red Witch's rule.

Priestess Rhie: We will open portals into the land of the dead, and ask Grenth to send Alastia Crow's spirit to us. : Josir said it might be dangerous. How so? Priestess Rhie: Open portals are like beacons of light in the Mists. Other entities may try to escape the lands of death—and we must prevent that. [...] Priestess Rhie: Grenth, Prince of Winter, hear your servant's plea! Priestess Rhie: Open the gates to the Mists! The living call upon the dead—in Grenth's name! Priestess Rhie: Alastia Crow, seer of Wiley's Scavengers, pirate and oracle, I call your spirit to commune. Appear! Appear and speak! a b Cathedral of Silence Priestess Rhie: Dhuum was a cruel and unjust god who ruled the Underworld. He refused to allow resurrections. In time Grenth overthrew Dhuum and imprisoned him in the Hall of Judgement. : So, Grenth was born a mortal, then? Not originally a god? : Grenth is Dwayna's son, but only half-god. His father was a mortal sculptor, but that is one of the greatest secrets of our church.Scholar Glenna : This place is unnerving. Scholar Glenna: It's technically part of the Mists. The snow, the river...even the geography itself. How do trees grow with no sun? Scholar Glenna: It's not my area of expertise, but it seems things here aren't beholden to the physical laws above ground. Haunted Tanto the Grim: Let me feel your sorrow. Let me strip you away until there is only pain, and emptiness. Endless pain...so sweet... Xandra: What call is there for this? Why do you seek to harm innocents? Answer me, spirit! Tanto the Grim: I wish only to kill you, child! I served Kivros, your grandfather. After his death, your mother Juno took everything from me. Everything except this pain that will not end, and an escape that will not come. Tanto the Grim: I would see her deprived of everything she held dear before she too joins me in this endless misery! Scholar Glenna : Ever think you'd be in a place like this? Scholar Glenna: Of course not. We're mortals. In the Underworld. Some of us aren't even human. Scholar Glenna: Who'd have guessed the trail of bodies and skeletons would lead to the Realm of the Dead itself?

With the departure of the Six Gods, the gods' realms including the Underworld fell to chaos as demonic entities from the Mists made their way into places such as the Domain of the Lost. In addition to this, Balthazar and Palawa Joko had begun plundering souls from the Underworld in 1330 AE to increase the numbers of the Forged army, adding to the chaos that Grenth's servants struggled to contain. [4] [22] In a bit of irony, the Mad Realm had seen little change beyond rivalry between Mad King Thorn and his son, the Bloody Prince Thorn. The Departing The Judge: You did what you could with what you had. You may go now. Kormir's library awaits. The Judge: Every book ever written can be found and read there. A new world awaits you. Go now with Grenth's blessing. Nenah: Thank you. Praise to Kormir, and to Grenth! According to some spirits' beliefs, a recently deceased human soul would end up in the Hall of Judgment where Grenth or one his lieutenants examines the soul and chooses its destination. During Dhuum's attempted invasion in 1072 AE, however, several lost souls entered the Underworld via the Labyrinth instead, [28] and some of these souls were escorted to the Forgotten Vale where they would be safe from ravenous demonic creatures. [40] Some time after Mad King Thorn's death circa 825 AE, [16] his soul ended in a specific chaotic sub-section of the Underworld. Using his sorcery, Thorn eventually conquered this region and its denizens and began ruling it, and his dominion became known as the Mad Realm. [6]In 1331 AE, the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik, having drained the magical energies of Balthazar in the Battle of Kodash Bazaar, managed to physically enter the Mists. For a year, the Elder Dragon feasted on the gods' realms, growing even more powerful as he battled Glint and her Mist Wardens, eventually consuming parts of the Domain of the Lost and forcing human souls out of the afterlives with some souls seeking refuge within the Sanctum in Kormir's Realm of Torment. [23] Most spirits find their own way to their fate when they die although some spirits suggest that Grenth or his lieutenants degree a spirit's final resting place once the spirit has entered the Hall of Judgment. [28] However, those whose deaths were too traumatic often forget who they were or how they perished, and they end up in the Domain of the Lost instead; this includes non-human spirits as well. [8] [13] In Cantha, the Oracle of the Mists has traditionally selected deceased murderers to become envoys who are tasked with shepherding human spirits to the Underworld as a form of penance. [29] [30] The Underworld is a vast realm in the Mists where spirits of the dead depart to. Dhuum, the God of Death, ruled the Underworld from his throne in a tower that once stood on the Chaos Planes. [7] Raven, a Spirit of the Wild, also had a deep connection to the Underworld as he guided norn spirits to the norn afterlife. [3] [8] Dhuum was cruel and unjust as he devoured human spirits and refused to allow resurrections, and he became known as the Final Death and Emperor of Oblivion. [9] [10]
