Anima Mundus

Anima Mundus is the name given to the realm of souls located in Aemidium. There is no true way of getting to the Anima Mundus except by having your soul trapped and stored in a magical receptacle attuned to the realm. The Anima Mundus is an ethereal place, filled with the crystalline formations of long forgotten souls.

Souls that are trapped in the Anima Mundus eventually solidify, forming complex patterns of quartz and crystals that tendril and twist throughout the realm.

Whenever sentient souls are used as fuel in enchantments, the remains of their shattered personage end up in the Anima Mundus. As a result, the realm is littered with the fragmented pieces of uncountable individuals. These soul fragments are cursed to live out what little of their mortal lives they remember, in an endless loop for the rest of eternity. Eventually, they will succumb to the crystallization process that all souls undergo when trapped in the Anima Mundus.

Particularly crafty individuals have discovered ways to raid the Anima Mundus and harvest the soul crystals, using them as a potent fuel source for a variety of magical means.
