Fundamental Belief: Fractured Soul Theory

The Sirdis, the Fractured Soul:

The soul is not a stable, homogenous entity. While there are widely varying beliefs as to the specifics, here is what is agreed upon:

• The soul has a core, called the Vadall, composed of three parts: Mind, Body, Passion

• There are an indeterminate number of satellite pieces to the soul, called Qildites. Qildites can be created and destroyed throughout a lifetime, and correspond to loved ones, core memories, core values, personal passions, etc.

• Reincarnation is not the whole soul that gets placed in the new body, but a part called the Qolris, which contains hints of the essence of the rest of the soul

• Upon death, the Vadall is supposed to leave the body, but the Qildites are supposed to stay in the body. If they escape they become ghosts, sources of dark magic, a way to reanimate the body, etc.
