Mythology & Lore
The deities of Vulhuan do not have their own realms, neither is there place of heaven, hell, or any other form of extraplanar afterlife. instead, the soul is thought to be housed in the cranium. Once a being has passed, it is thought by those of Vulhuan that the soul stays in the skull of the being until disturbed. Depending on the creature and the spite of hatred that it once possessed is whether or not it lives peacefully in its new eternity with all other beings who died in that place.
If the soul indeed did have unfinished business in the land of the living or is malevolently disturbed in its resting place then its spirit may become dislodged and quite possibly wander or exact what ever revenge it may deem fit. This could be the act of destroying what ever disturbed its resting place, or perhaps even the locating and haunting of a particular person or place that did them harm.

Tenets of Faith

The gods control nature, yet nature itself has its own mind, for this reason the gods should all be given respect. However, one must not disrespect nature itself, for nature can exact the most fearsome revenge with or without the will of the gods.
The Druids are the listeners and speakers of the gods, they hear the god's wills in the rustle of trees, the trickle of the streams, or the howls of the wolves. This means that the druids are the ones that interpret any of the gods intentions the wish to speak to them.
