Sharing borders with Heaven and the Fields is yet another afterlife filled with servants.

Nascita and Rinatas lead the Life Pantheon containing a few other gods.

Gargion, god of medicine.
Amore, god of love
Migi, goddess of family
Uay, goddess of magic.

Those who worship the life pantheon believe in pure reincarnation. A well lived life will be reborn as a good fortuned human. A poor lived life will be reborn an animal or plant.

Because of that there are very few souls in this afterlife. In fact there are only 9. There are 9 mortal souls selected by renicsem to be fair and balanced. They help him judge souls for reincarnation. There is usually 3 humans and 6 species of supernatural to assist with possibly conflicting morals.

Most in the area are servants of the pantheon. They are called Umbé. All Umbé are identical to a featureless version of Nascita though they vary in size. They have no eyes, nose, ears, or other blemishes. However each does have a mouth.

Umbé are each assigned a small number of mortals to watch over. Major events of their life are recorded for judgement after death. They may also deliver gifts from the gods to the mortals.

Each Umbé looks the same if not for one trait. They each wear a veil of feathers. This veil falls over their face, hiding most of their missing features. These are the feathers of the bird they become when they travel to earth. No two are the same bird.

The leaders of the Umbé can be told apart because they have a singular eye each. Umbé-Cee for each country leading the Umbé's of those countries.

There is a single Umbé-reaper, who essentially has the same duties as Azrael. She is rather new, having been created when the population bloomed and Nascita worried Azrael would not be able to keep up with her many blessings.

Umbé are known as some of the most active servants despite having so many and not having to handle souls. They often travel the earth to watch over the humans they are in charge of. Some estimate they spend upwards half their time there.

Umbé also spend a lot of time traveling between various afterlives. Their gaze on humanity proves them to be quite useful to the judgement keepers of others religions.

Alphaeus had been sent to earth to run a couple of errands. Technically he was a guardian angel. However he was one of the youngest angels in heaven and rather naive. He tended to be used more as an errand boy.
