The Lunist concept of life-after-death varies some with the individual, as do most aspects of the religion, but one idea seems to hold predominant--known as the Lunist Tenet.


The Lunist Tenet, argue some theologians, is a subspecies of reincarnation. Supported by the Kandora and the Council of High Priests, it dictates that after death, the spirit sheds the physical body and is guided by the White Lady into an alternate reality where it will live out another life and repeat the process. As the number of realities is supposed to be limitless, most people do not believe in any "final paradise".


Priests teach believers to live the best lives they can and make the most of themselves, under the idea that one must earn their next reality. The way they use their time in life decrees the sort of reality they will be sent to after it, proportionate to their piety and respect for the White Lady.


A number of visions of the White Lady stand to substantiate the Lunist Tenet, and it's the idea that most Priests choose to preach.
