Each overworld realm directly connects to a parallel afterlife realm through a thin tunnel, which passes through the center of Faia. Afterlife realms are not identical to their counterpart, but often contain similar landmarks and biomes to provide spirits with a sense of home. Spirits are immediately transported to their afterlife realm upon death, where they can live in solitude, or even seek out their loved ones. Afterlife realms are designed to prepare spirits for their true death. When a spirit is ready to move on, it travels to the Voidling’s Well.

The way to reach the Voidling’s Well in each afterlife realm is different, but always ends in a door. To a spirit who has not wrapped up all loose ends in their afterlife, opening the door will do nothing. The door only allows passage to those who are satisfied and truly ready to end their afterlife. Once a spirit steps through the door, there is no turning back.

The Voidling’s Well is a small realm located in the center of the underworld wheel. It is an exception to typical realms as well; the fabric of reality does not cover the entire realm. The “entire realm” is only a dozen square feet in width; it is very small. The sky is a gradient of colors, and the ground consists of shimmery sand. In the center of the realm, or more realistically, the room with invisible walls, is a well guarded by the Voidling.

The Voidling is an immortal being appointed to guarding the well, and has been there since the beginning. Their job is to make sure each spirit present is fully ready to move on, just in case the doors malfunction or a spirit somehow forces its way through. The Voidling is the only way back from the Voidling’s Well after stepping through the door. Multiple spirits can be present at the Voidling’s Well at the same time, but they will never see each other. They won’t even see the Voidling, despite the Voidling seeing them. From a spirit’s point of view, they are completely and utterly alone.

The well connects directly to the void. There is no fabric to catch a spirit, although there is no need to. A spirit ready to move on will ascend the steps to the ledge of the well, sit down… reflect on their life and afterlife one last time. Then, they will let themself fall. As soon as their spiritual body leaves the realm of the Voidling’s Well and enters the void, it will disintegrate. The particles that make it up will return to the universe, and the spirit’s afterlife will officially end.
