Death | Tyrrapedia: Encyclopedia of Tyrra

True to its name, the plane of Death is totally devoid of Life. Living beings cannot exist here without powerful protective magics and should such magics fail they will instantly be subject to unstoppable Death. The very nature of the realm itself is hostile to living creatures. Much of the landscape here appears burnt out, and the entire realm is composed of a gray, sooty soil that is not like the soil found upon Tyrra. Most people think of destruction when they think of Death and associate Death with evil, however Death allows for renewal it is half of the great cycle of existence for Death allows for more life to form and nourishes life as well. The greatest scholars of Tyrra agree that Death is not evil in nature but the fear of Death and the extreme nature of beings of destruction that are often thought of as minions of Death have often confused the general populous of Tyrra.
