Upon death, an individual ai feels a great pull to sefai. Across the world, there are pathways, commonly referred to as ‘soulstreams,’ that lead the ai toward one of two main wells, or openings, into Aiur. These pathways, or this ‘pull,’ is often visualized as a physical guide by the ‘newborn’ ai—a friend, a family member, an animal. Newborn ai are ones that have recently branched from their main thread—much like a new species branches from their evolutionary tree.

The more connected an ai is to all other ai and to sefai, the ‘larger’ Aiur appears to them upon their body’s death. Ai that share weak connections may feel lost, unable to locate the soulstreams, and unable to wander ‘home’ to sefai without great effort. Then there are those that are completely severed, and remain stagnant and unmoving.
