Vek’til

Overview

Vek’til is known across Eonil as the realm where spirits go after death if they are deemed evil or have committed unforgivable acts in life. It is commonly understood as the counterpart to Jin’til, representing the afterlife destination for those who crossed moral lines or engaged in truly dark deeds.

Beliefs and Criteria

The popular belief holds that spirits who kill for personal gain, betray deep trust, or commit acts considered unforgivable are condemned to Vek’til after death. The boundaries of what leads to Vek’til are often unclear and debated, but it is generally associated with great wrongdoing or evil intent.

Nature of Vek’til

Vek’til is often depicted in myths and stories as a bleak or tormented place—far from the peace and beauty of Jin’til. It is a realm of consequence, where the spirits of the wicked face the results of their actions. Some traditions describe it as a land of shadows, restlessness, or even suffering, although details vary between cultures and tales.

The depths of Vek’til

A common saying on Eonil is “There is no cave in Vek’til deep enough for the likes of you.” Same as with Jin’til Vek’til is commonly believed to be layered. The deeper you fall in live the deeper your soul descends in Vek’til. Many people choose to belief that there is a way to climb out of Vek’til deeper layers as if it’s a way to redeem ones soul. Whether or not this is true is pure speculation and often seen as wishful thinking by those who have dead loved ones who turned evil before they died. But if you can climb layers in Vek’til you can surely also go deeper…
