'''The Pale''' is the plane where departed souls travel to the realm of [[Gosaena]]. It is unclear if there is any distinction between this and [[Purgatory]], which is a very similar limbo where souls have not yet chosen and [[Lorminstra]] removes souls for reincarnation. It might be that souls in the Pale are not supposed to leave, or alternatively, Purgatory might be the part where only Lorminstra can remove them. In the old death mechanics before [[Death's Sting]] was introduced, when characters lost to their souls to the [[demonic]], the Purgatory messaging showed the [[Gates of Oblivion]] (now [[Ebon Gate (gate)|Ebon Gate]]) receding in the background.

===The Pale===
This was as witnessed with a ritual by [[Morvule]] during the second [[Griffin Sword War]] to harrow the Pale:
<pre{{log2}}>
[The Pale]
Everything is awash in both light and darkness, the waves of each alternating hue creating ephemeral shades that float by in an endless abyss.
Obvious exits: none
</pre>

Contrast with the death mechanics messaging in GemStone III. Purgatory most recently referred instead to the space between Liabo and Elanthia during [[Rings of Lumnis]].
<pre{{log2}}>
'''(1) GemStone III Death Mechanics''' (2000)

[Purgatory]
You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light, and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two prophecies, each vying for your loyalty.
Also in the room: All the spirits of those who could not choose.
Obvious exits: light and darkness.

'''(2) Rings of Lumnis Disconnected Mechanics''' (2018)

[Rings of Lumnis, Purgatory]
Located somewhere between extremely dark grey and the blackest of black, the space here is filled with nothing but darkness. It is unclear which way is up or down, and the disorientation is overwhelming. You also see an atmospheric tear.
Obvious paths: none
