Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Ethereal Rift is a plane of reality that exists within the mortal realm and the underworld. It acts as the connection for
the two realms and all spirits must past through it at one time. Those spirits who attend peace in the after life are moved to
this realm to await their final journey. They can either be reborn into the realm of mortals or drift into the Void. Those who
choose to be reborn and live their new lives, and attend peace in death once more, will be given another choice to be reborn.
This can happen only a number times for a single spirit. Those who have been reborn the maximum amount of times are judged to
be the purest souls and are given special honors within the Rift. They become Angel’s who aid mortals, Gods, and spirits within all
realms.

This realm is dominated by the Goddess Zara, who acts as overseer and judge. One feather from her wing is used to weigh
a soul’s purity. If the soul is heavier then the feather, then the soul is sent to the void. If the soul and feather are the same
weight, the spirit is given the choice of rebirth. In the rare chance that the feather is heavier then the soul, the spirit
achieves a state called “nirvana”. Those lucky few become protectors of the Rift and are forever free from suffering.
