Astral Meadow

The Astral Meadow is the expanse of fertile soul-soil worked by the Tenders, a legion of celestial cultivators. To prevent the stagnation of life in the Realms, the gods utilized an ancient Titan construct called the Millstone to grind up departed souls and use what remains to grow new ones.

The Tenders
The Tenders are celestial beings who maintain and cultivate the expanse of soul dust, using it as a rich soil for the formation of new souls. Whenever fully-formed souls are ready, they are harvested and brought back to the other realms by the Tenders to begin their lives anew. The Tenders are skilled and numerous, but rarely, a pocket of unexpected growth will form in the meadow as a weed does in a garden. These creations are often destroyed by the Tenders shortly after they form, but some evade capture and flee to other planes.
