The typical trajectory for souls passing to the afterlife is fairly straightforward, according to most theologians. When a mortal dies, their soul enters the River of Souls and eventually reaches the Boneyard, where it is judged by Pharasma.

Susceptible to Death — Though phantoms aren't alive, neither are they undead, and they are uniquely vulnerable to the effects of death.
