_________________________________ every dynasty has different views of the afterlife. for the wildflower dynasty, all cats who haven't done anything like a crime go to a place known as aurora. in the aurora, it almost never rains. here, it tends to be peaceful. former keepers kind of become the guardians of aurora. the aurora is ruled by a goddes who calls herself aera. she is a cat-like creature with huge, cloud-like wings. however, no cat has ever actually seen her. but not all cats go there. all cats who have done crimes go to the umbra. here, it is far less peaceful. cats here often fight eachother and steal from others. in the umbra, the sky seems to be covered by dark storm clouds that never stop raining. this afterlife is ruled by a god named nox, who can curse living cats. there are many tales told to buds of the wildflower dynasty about the umbra and aurora. . .. .... as for the storm dynasty.. all cats go to the same afterlife, regardless of what they did in life. here, they mostly observe the living cats, but they are also able to go and do other things. there are many names for this place, but it doesn't actually have an official name. spirits who live here are not visible to the living, and can't move objects. they can only communicate with the mage, usually through visions. sometimes, other cats can dream of these spirits. this does not happen often. . ... ...... for the waterfall dynasty, the afterlife is a huge island surrounded by an endless sea. the island is pretty much a paradise, and there are many places on the island that cats can explore. the protector of the island is a bird-like creature, named vespera. the vespera does not allow 'evil' cats to linger on the island, though. evil cats that may not come on the island are left to swim in the sea. there are no other islands in this afterlife. loners go to the same afterlife as the storm dynasty.
notes: - cats from different afterlives can kind of visit eachother, since the afterlives are different 'territories' that are very far apart. - the gods from the wildflower dynasty [aera and nox] can bless/curse cats. these blessings/curses can be any kind of power or mutation that grants the cat an extra ability. [they usually bless/curse cats before they are even born, instead of blessing/cursing that cat later in life.] - the gods can sometimes turn themselves into cats and are able to interact with the living. they cannot stay as cats for long, though. - there's a day and night cycle in all afterlives.
