severely split; the northern side is almost blindingly bright and thrumming with
contentment and peace, even as the southern side is filled with darkness and a
choking fog. Malicious whispers drift around a vibrating, twisted iron portal

natural life. Contrasting sharply, on the other side a faint, ever-present choir
can be heard, their angelic voices mingling with shimmering visions of a
beautiful valley in never-ending bloom. A white marble gravestone stands vigil
