Death Aspect and you
Death…It has taken me (Willowbark) a good deal of research to progress in my studies of the process of death, and which I found out unequivocally that “Death Essence” or “Death Taint” is a misnomer; according to all the research I have found, the more precise term is “Death Aspect,” for it refers to the inevitable result of a soul’s or essence separation from its body. Death Aspect accrued as a result of a “Re-embodiment” is Not a to be likened to a “corruption” any more than it can be said to be a “corruption” when someone truly dies. A soul that passes on and is not resurrected can be said to have embraced their Death Aspect fully; someone who IS brought back, however, only touches on this aspect partially. If anything, it is resurrection itself that is the closest to being a corruptive act, for it is obviously an unnatural process. Because of all this information, I have realized that it is a bit incoherent to speak of “removing” Death Aspect. Though I did find some incomplete Ounish records which speak of “Natal Essence” and “Essence Berths,” which seem to indicate that souls can be manipulated and changed somehow.
Upon further research it was determined that the “Death Aspect” upon a soul acted more towards a form of gravity as the soul is changed with each death process so to, do they become more gravitated to the realm beyond the gatekeepers abode. Removing this aspect would be intensely difficult, probably entailing of the deliberate~and invasive~ alteration of the Soul itself.
Upon speaking with different scholar’s it has been noted that Hell in all it’s forms is infact a form of artifact that was used by the people of oun to store essences. As it was run by the department of Thanatology. This breakthrough has lead me to believe that the term Essence Berths is referenced to Hell as an essence is another term for soul and a berth is another term for safe holding place. Hell intruth seems to act very much like this hypothesis though further evidence is needed to determine if it is fact.
