Asinus

The keyword for the realm of Asinus is Aleph, Hebrew for 'ox'. Asinus is the home to beings called Librarians. They keep watch on the Library of Souls and record experiences of each soul that passes through Asinus to get to a realm to be reincarnated. Humans call them guardians of the spirit world or judges of the dead.

Every librarian has his personal Library of Souls and he only seeks to expand his library. Librarians are gifted these libraries by one of the three queens of Asinus at birth. The Library acts as a librarian's birth certificate and the realm's recognition of his ability to expand the library. There are cases where librarians are not given libraries when they are born due to them not being a 'True Librarian'.

Librarians are created when a part of the infinite amount of essence in the Universal River condense. Librarians are usually Essentially neutral. However, there are times when there is an excess of either positive or negative Essence in a librarian's body composition. This prevents a library from being created in one of the three palaces. When this happens, these librarians serve as ambassadors to other realms via various teleportation magic, preferably using black holes.

Librarians are immortal but if their Libraries are depleted of souls, they will disintegrate and return to the Universal River. When beings die, the experiences in their soul will connect them to a specific library. The goal of a librarian is to try to 'persuade' the soul to return to their library. After a soul enters the library, the library records all the experiences and uses these new experiences, combining with existing experiences, to create a predicted destiny for a new soul or a few. Then, these souls are released into the realm which they resonate with.
