Reincarnation and the Sentinel
Category: Faith
Question: The theology 2 file says "The Faither holds that the most virtuous after death may ascen to sit by the side of the gods in Elysia, the most wicked may be pulled down to the Abyss, and the others may be pulled into the Shining Lands to grant wisdom to those that follow..."
I assume it is by Sentinel's judgment which goes where. But with the addition of the Queen of Endings, it appears the actual in-game canon is that the Faith acknowledges reincarnation and the Wheel, even if this is at odds with the lore file.
My question is, given this, does the Faith still have a place for the Sentinel in the after death experience in terms of being judged on the basis of virtue and wickedness? Does this play a role in reincarnation? Or is the Faith still more or less mum on reincarnation as a whole and it's still doctrine that "we go by the will of the gods"?
Answer: So the current theological belief is that the gods and abyss are allegorical concepts, therefore judgement would be based on common mores, rather than an action by an entity.
