@@josephzipprich775 Do you mean on tabletop or lorewise? If you mean tabletop, that's not really relevant here.

I will absolutely be looking into this when the new book drops!! (Assuming it has lore on it, but I’ll draw conclusions regardless)

@2Tough I have the newest tome available but I do not remember reading anything in there about that. I am going to double check. One thing I read today was interesting: Stormcast Ordinators have scryed into the minds of some creatures of the flesh eater courts. They can see how their intent is actually noble and curse is creating the delusion and all the savage violence. But do not see any clear path of redemption for them. Even if you broke the curse what would you be left with? I suppose if you tear someone's grandma in half and drink the blood, not many are going to give you the benefit of the doubt no matter the delusion.

@2Tough Found our answer! Page 13 of the most recent FEC battle tome. Under the sub heading: "No rest for the wicked-The underworlds of Shyish are carved out of the collective belief of myriad mortals. A give culture's conception of the afterlife is formed from the raw amethyst magic of the Realm of Death, and it is to this land that souls of that culture go upon their death. The Mordants of the courts, despite their deathly pallor, are living creatures possessed of souls, and in the depths of their insanity still hold to the beliefs of their old culture regarding the afterlife. So it was that when a new court was formed, the afterlife into which its mordants passed when they died remained largely unchanged. Courts who believed themselves to be pastoral fiefdoms had underworlds in which spirits dwelt amongst lush fields, spending days rearing herds of livestock and nights making merry with their fellow honoured dead. Similarly, Mordants who saw themselves as gallant beast slayers spent their afterlife slaughtering endless series of monstrosities holding aloft the severed heads as commoners showered them with flower petals. Many of these underworlds were reserved for those who lived pure and just lives, cleaving to chivalric codes and resisting temptation. Conversely, an afterlife of torment and penance awaited those who strayed from the path of honour. But in their deranged minds. Mordants saw themselves as paragons of virtue, shielding the weak from evil while remaining untouched by corruption. This could not be further from the truth, yet their unshakable belief in the nobility of their actions ensured that, upon death, they pass blissfully into an underworld alongside the other souls of their decayed civilization. The necroquake in Shyish sent so much death energy everywhere that it ruined that for them. They carry their current existence with them Terrorizing the spirits there and sometimes are so deluded they rise to fight with the still living counterparts. SO historically yes they would go to a noble afterlife but now the answer is no due to necroquake.
