I have a question for the group. Has anyone tried to find family or friends they have lost over the years, or a trace that they might have passed through the Netherworld? Have you been successful?

If not, would you? What would you say to them if you managed to find them?

I have traveled beyond the borders defended by the Ennead, and found many underworlds have seas and rivers. More than that, many of our divine origins trace back to primordial waters -- cosmogenic chaos. We are born of waters and return to it. From Apsu, Nu, Khaos, Danu. To Irkalla, Duat, Styx, Patala.

If we can trace our origins to the cosmic sea, then the waters of the underworld must be that same sea.

At least, that's what I've wondered.

So, I wonder. Could we not sail the seas and rivers here, and find where the waters unite?

Considering that many early civilizations were also associated with rivers and other bodies of water, somehow knowing that rivers and seas are a common theme for the underworld is a little reassuring. It's reassuring to know that some things stay the same, in life and death. I would be interested to hear how

I think you would be hard-pressed to find people willing to brave the Tempest to find where they meet here on the Netherwork.
