The spirits here are free to pursue the pleasures they enjoyed in life, whether it be through art, music, or the endless pursuit of knowledge and happiness.
2. Aionia
Afterworld Type: Heaven for Immortal Races
Description: Aionia is the vibrant and dynamic heaven designed for the immortal races of Lizyra, where the vibrancy of life never fades.

Aionia is a realm of continuous celebration and challenge, where immortals engage in games of skill, contests of strength, and debates of philosophy. The architecture here is grandiose, with towering spires and floating islands connected by bridges woven from light. The spirits in Aionia never tire, and their existence is one of constant exploration and discovery, reflecting their eternal nature and undying curiosity about the universe.
3. Liminara
Afterworld Type: Purgatory-Like World
Description: Liminara serves as the transitional afterworld, a realm for those souls who are not yet ready to ascend to Elysion or Aionia, or who must atone for their deeds. It is a realm of reflection and redemption, shrouded in mists and soft light. The landscape of Liminara is subdued and monochromatic, with vast plains and rolling hills under a twilight sky. Here, spirits undergo introspection, guided by the Custodians—beings who assist in evaluating a soul’s life and choices. Liminara is not a place of punishment, but rather one of growth; its goal is to prepare souls to move on to their destined afterworld. The architecture is simple and sparse, designed to encourage contemplation rather than distraction. Spirits in Liminara often engage in communal activities that foster understanding and forgiveness, slowly healing and preparing for their eventual journey to Elysion or Aionia.
These three afterworlds in Lizyra provide a spiritual continuation that mirrors the complexity of existence in the mortal realms. Each is uniquely tailored to the needs and destinies of the souls they welcome, ensuring that every being finds a place beyond life where they can flourish or find peace.

The Underworlds of Lizyra
1. Infernalis
Type: Hell for Mortal Races
Description: Infernalis is the dark counterpart to Elysion, a realm where mortal souls who have strayed from their righteous paths face their transgressions. Unlike traditional concepts of hell, Infernalis is not solely a place of punishment but a domain of harsh reflection and redemption. The landscape is a barren wasteland, with volcanic ash covering the ground and rivers of molten lava dividing the terrain. Blackened tree silhouettes and smoky skies create a constant twilight, providing a somber backdrop for the soul's journey. In Infernalis, the souls endure trials that mirror their lives' misdeeds, challenges meant to teach them the weight of their actions and the pain they caused others. The air is thick with the scent of brimstone and the echoes of wailing winds, a reminder of the isolation from divine grace. However, redemption is a core principle here; those who genuinely repent and learn from their ordeals are given a chance to ascend to Elysion, their sins washed away through their own understanding and change.
2. Perpetua
Type: Hell for Immortal Races
Description: Perpetua is the eternal abyss for immortal souls who have committed unforgivable sins or disruptions in the cosmic order. It is a realm that infinitely stretches with no end, an endless void where time and space convolute, trapping the immortals in a cycle of existential chaos. Here, the landscape constantly shifts — surreal and morphing terrains emerge and disappear without logic, designed to disorient and challenge the very nature of immortal beings. The skies are an ever-changing palette of unnatural colors, reflecting the turmoil within this domain. In Perpetua, the immortals are stripped of their powers, forced to confront the core of their existence without the distractions of their abilities or eternal roles. They face illusions of their worst fears, betrayals, and failures, each scenario a lesson crafted to break their pride and mend their spirits. The rulers of Perpetua, spectral entities born from the realm's dark energy, oversee these trials, ensuring that even immortals can learn humility and empathy. Like Infernalis, Perpetua offers redemption, but the path is arduous and requires a profound transformation of the immortal spirit.
Overview of the Underworlds
Infernalis and Perpetua serve as profound centers of transformation in Lizyra's cosmology, not merely places of punishment but environments where lost souls confront their deepest flaws and have an opportunity for redemption. These realms challenge the traditional view of hellish afterlives by integrating the possibility of redemption, aligning with the overarching themes of growth and moral evolution that pervade the universe of Lizyra.
