Another example of slavery being used in storytelling is when Penic, the God of Autumn, is enslaved by Martir after Penic accidentally falls into a hole that Martir dug. Martir orders Penic to never move out of the way for the Goddess Pelushk, making winter never come. This causes issues for the pantheon, who have differing issues, like Dirtir's inability to grow anything, Swairtir's inability to hibernate, Brushk's inability to graze, and other problems. | Another example of slavery being used in storytelling is when Penic, the God of Autumn, is enslaved by Martir after Penic accidentally falls into a hole that Martir dug.

It is believed in Volin culture that the soul is directly tied to the body. When a Volin dies, it's customary to set the body among a boat and set fire to it, then say a prayer to the god Mashk and send the boat off to their place in the afterlife. If this is not done, it's believed that Mashk will never receive the soul, and the dead will inhabit the Earth in the afterlife. The underworld is believed to completely underwater and monitored by Mashk, and, depending on what you did in life, Mashk may treat you differently. Warriors will spend an eternity drinking wine and being awarded for their exploits, while normal farmers will be thanked for their hard work and can relax forever. Criminals and immoral people will instead be punished by Mashk, usually by drowning for an eternity. | It is believed in Volin culture that the soul is directly tied to the body.
