The Process of Reincarnation from death to rebirth.

"When the heart stills and breath falls silent, fear not — for no spirit in Vibrantia Regni is ever truly lost."

So the priestesses of Viryana teach.

Reincarnation in the world of Vibrantia Regni is a process of intrigue. The scholars that inhabit this world have never truly been able to discover how individuals are reborn, if there are certain standards to which souls will be held accountable for past actions by the ones who decide who reincarnates in what manner. There are stories where brigands, murderers and many more unsavory individuals have been granted a reincarnation into a nobility's bloodline, while people who lived an honest and kind life have been reincarnated as slum folk. The only thing that is certain, is that reincarnation is a fact. This is due to the discoveries of some reincarnated individuals having tiny fragments of their past lives, where they have a certain aptitude for particular skills, or seem to remember faces they have never seen before in their current life and holding a strong connection to these remembered individuals. Some even claim to have met the goddess of life and rebirth, Viryana herself, though these stories are more often than not dismissed as a sad attempt for attention or recognition.

A note from the now deceased but highly revered Human scholar, Derren Dorovik managed to shed a theoretical light to what the people of Vibrnatia Regni recognize as the Reincarnation Cycle. According to Derren Dorovik, the reincarnation cycle follows a certain procedure that starts from the moment of death, all the way to the moment of reincarnation with special cases like individuals with fragmented memories excluded.

The Process that Derren Dorovik noted is as follows (Source; Derren Dorovik's direct notes on reincarnation):
1. Moment of death
- The mortal body ceases to live, causing the soul to detach as an invisible, luminous orb. (Sidenote, strong individuals can decide to stay in this form and eventually evolve into will-o-wisps to guide the people of Vibrantia Regni in their times of need.)
- The Veil of Umbrelis draws the soul that has detached from the mortal body away from the material plane.

2. Crossing the Veil
- The soul enters the domain of Umbrelis through the Soul Veil where they are guided to the Cleansing Pools by Veil Wardens, spiritual beings that serve Umbrelis.
- At the Cleansing Pools the soul is bathed in silver light, cleansed from emotional burdens, pain, worldly attachments and the memories that the previous vessel has gone through.
- Once the soul is free from these mortal instabilities, what is left off the soul will be weighed on the Restitution Scales, where the next beginning of the soul is decided, how the vessel of the soul will look, what skills and abilities the new vessel shall possess, and what kind of life the soul will be able to live. (Sidenote, A the kind of life the soul will be able to live is not set in stone. This is merely meant as a new starting point for the soul.)

3. Return to the Cycle
- The soul is transported from the Restitution Scales to @Viryana's Crossing, the domain and humble home of the goddess of life and Rebirth, Viryana herself.
- In this domain Viryana will reshape the soul, thus preparing it for a life anew and pushing it back into the Cycle of life.

4. Rebirth
- The soul is woven into a newborn body where they begin their new life fresh and without memories of their past.

5. Rare Variations
- Interrupted Cycle: If the soul is destroyed or stolen before reaching the cleansing pools, the soul is lost forever, and the being stops to exist entirely.
- Chosen one: In case the world of Vibrantia Regni has a necessity for profound change ordered by the overgod, one or more people can be chosen to reincarnate in a different way. They will lose the memory of their previous life entirely and thus have no skills or abilities that travel over to their new vessel. However, these people get to design their own vessel entirely, are given the ability to choose their own class as well as allocate a certain number of points that will represent their physical stats.
- Bonded Souls: Souls that have a truly strong and powerful bond made of love or oath, may reincarnate close to each other, and find their life once more together due to their highly compatible resonance.
- Memories of a past life: Some individuals might be able to remember fragments of their past life, causing them to have an aptitude for certain skills like cooking, archery or blacksmithing for example. Some are even able to remember an entire language while others seem to remember certain faces but are unable to recognize who they are or where they have seen them.
