Ok, I'm dead...........................

Ok, I'm dead, but where shall i go next?

According to Glint, dead people go to Hall of Heros; According to dwarfs, you gota to go to Great Forge; According to Canthans, you go to Eternal Paradise.

So, where will i end up with after i'm dead?????|||Ahhh, a great religous dilemma.

Is it heaven, hades or Valhalla?

Maybe they are all the same place, or maybe when you die, you're just dead and that's it.



*Sits under Lotus tree to contemplate this further*|||Canthans certainly seem to have it best, i d say go with Canthans to Eternal Paradise, or to Halls of Heroes if you re a Hardcore PvPer :P |||Maybe within the Heavens, there are different "heavenly countries"? <_<|||Quote:

I think you'd mean Heaven, the Elysian Fields, or Valhalla, since Hades is just the name of the dude that runs the place, not usually the name of the place. Also when hades is used to mean a place, it's more a hellish place (pagan and all that) than good.

I don't know much about this Canthan "Eternal Paradise", so correct me if I make an embarassing mistake, but this sounds like the Judeochristian sense of where good souls go. It could also fit with the Elysian fields, I think, though I forget exactly what the nature of those fields are, and what goes on there.

The great forge, merely in the name, which conveys a sense of continued work for a deity after death, sounds like the Ancient Egyptian idea of the Fields of Osiris. In the mythology of Ancient Egypt, the heart of a person would be weighed against the feather of truth upon that person entering the afterlife. If the heart was heavy with dirty deeds, done dirt cheap, the person's heart (and thus soul) would be fed to Amit, the devourer (hmm...). If the person was pure of heart, and had been all-around good, they would be taken to work in the Fields of Osiris, which was somehow seen as a good reward in the afterlife.

The Hall of Heroes, merely in the fact that we living people can still fight there, seems like the Norse idea of paradise (not Valhalla, which was, I believe, just where the Gods were). In Norse mythology, a man who died valiantly in battle (a "good" man) would go to viking heaven, where he would fight all day and drink all night. A bad man, or a coward, would go to hel, which was cold.|||Quote:

From wikipedia:

Hades (From ᾍδης, Hadēs, or Ἅιδης, H�idēs, Greek for "unseen"[1]) refers to both the ancient Greek abode of the dead and the god of that underworld. The word originally referred to just the god; haidou, its genitive, was short for "the house of Hades". Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead.



Elysian Fields was a part of Hades



Also from Wikipedia:

There were several sections of Hades, including the Elysian Fields (contrast the Christian Paradise or Heaven), and Tartarus, (compare the Christian Hell). Greek mythographers were not perfectly consistent about the geography of the afterlife.

In most instances, the deceased, good and evil alike, just went to Hades.



Joo r pwned!!!1!1!!!1|||Easy answer. You end up where everyone else ends up: on the ground, underneath a giggling Alesia. *tee hee hee*|||I think the Great Forge would be pretty cool place to go to.|||Quote:

Not true.

Some people end up on the ground at Sister Tai's feet. Who is, of course, claiming that "don't worry -- if you die, I'll have you back in no time."
