			== Origins ==
			When the gods first created mortals, they did not possess souls. This meant that when a mortal died, they were gone forever. With demons invading the realms, the gods wished to find a way for their mortal creations to remain even after death.

			The solution was brought forth by the then [[archangel]], Asmodeus. Asmodeus proposed the idea of a soul, an immortal vessel that would contain the essence of a mortal creature that could join their divine creators after death. But the power to create souls required great power and an even greater sacrifice. The gods chose to sacrifice on of their own, the goddess [[Othea]], and allowed Asmodeus to invade Othea's realm with divine armies and slay her. Othea's heart was then split into two pieces. One was used to create the [[Ruby Rod]], an artifact that allowed Asmodeus to ascend to deific status. The second was then created into the cycle of souls from birth, to death, and beyond.

A '''Soul '''is the essence of life contained within a mortal creature. '''Souls '''are said to have been created by the [[gods]], but various attempts at synthesizing souls have been made over Quelmar's history.
==Alignment and Purity==
Souls are typically destined to move on to one of the outer planes after the mortal body has passed away. Evil gods seek dominion over evil souls, while good gods seek out the good souls. The purity of a soul does not have a direct correspondence to its alignment. However, the overlap between corrupt and evil is much greater than it is with good. Evil souls must walk a fine line if they want to arrive in an evil paradise such as [[Acheron]] or [[Carceri]]. Otherwise they will be too corrupt to achieve a proper afterlife.

If a soul becomes too corrupted, it will belong to [[Asmodeus]] in accordance with an ancient pact set up by the [[Gods]]. When this happens, the corrupted soul is instead sent to the [[Ten Hells|planes of hell]] to serve as a [[devil]].

On rare occasions, a soul may be so corrupted that it transcends traditional pathways, instead electing to break all known rules of order and become its own chaotic essence. When such a transformation occurs, the soul had become a true form of [[demon]].

=== Corrupting Acts ===
An example of evil acts and their measure of corruption on the soul can be found below:
* Using an evil spell: +1 Corruption
* Humiliating an underling: +1 Corruption
* Engaging in intimidating torture: +1 Corruption
* Stealing from the needy: +2 Corruption
* Betraying a friend or ally for personal gain: +2 Corruption
* Causing gratuitous injury to an innocent creature: +3 Corruption
* Perverting justice for personal gain: +3 Corruption
* Inflicting cruel or painful torture: +4 Corruption
* Premeditated Murder: +5 Corruption
*[[Soul Trafficking|Forcing other souls to serve against their will]] + 6 Corruption
* Murder for Pleasure: +7 Corruption

== Lost Souls ==
Occasionally a mortal creature dies without a secure bond to a divine entity or god, meaning that an afterlife has not been picked out for them. These creatures' souls are doomed to float among the [[Astral Plane|astral sea]], watching as souls pass into their peaceful heavens. Occasionally a lost soul is plucked out of the astral sea, either returned to life by divine magic, or given a new purpose.
