-- Nichelings born on the same day, or out to die on it, sometimes have a special connection.
-- harvesting healing fruits for anything but their designated purpose... "angers the gods". But really just that one with anger management issues.
-- killing wandering children or bearyena cubs bans you from the afterlife.
-- Those with unfulfilled wishes strong enough, sometimes can't move on and trap themselves as spirits, stuck in an endless cycle of rebirth. They're bound to encounter "the event" every single time.
Nichelings become one with the Nothingness after passing away. An endless void, both alive and very much dead. This is where the gods draw their power from, redistributing endless energy.
