I love the logic of this. The concept makes perfect sense--souls gravitate towards the planes that match the way they lived. It looks like a "good rewarded, evil punished" system also, given the names of the evil-aligned afterlives, but that might just be my misperception. So I'm wondering, are evil-aligned souls more satisfied with being in The Beneath than they would be if they were in the Plains of Evergarden?
So in theory yes. If you think about the offerings of the "Negative" gods if you will, they offer benefits on the Material Plane to align with their interests. They are usually open to rewarding those who follow them in their afterlife as well. It really breaks down to what a person is looking for, because maybe becoming an all-powerful devil in the armies of the Beneath is of interest to some.
