@TheEdVerse what happens to the souls of animals? Do they go to a plane associated with nature? Is it different for pets & wild animals?

1)
The souls of most wild creatures go to Arvandor (not the layer of Arborea, but the divine realm that is its own plane, and is now a root of the World Tree and accessed by traveling down the Tree), unless they linger to haunt… 2)
…the place of their passing for some reason, or they were pets or familiars, which might mean their souls go elsewhere. Also, the deities of Chauntea, Eldath, Malar, Mielikki, Silvanus, and Sheela Peryroyl (and perhaps others)…#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 24, 2020
3)
…gather some beast souls to themselves to (willingly) serve briefly as messengers or aides, ere the souls move on.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) August 24, 2020
Thanks so much! So what is the most likely plane for pets, if their souls tend to go elsewhere? As they formed a bond with an "owner," sometimes they go to the plane the owner's soul is destined for, and sometimes they go to the plane now best suited to their outlook on life (what qualities they gained/polished while being a pet); i.e. their lived life chooses.#Realmslore
