Afterlife is a speculation concerning existence after death in several religions in the known world.
About
The septons of the Faith of the Seven teach that the afterlife is a sweet surcease, and sing of voyaging to a far sweet land of light and honey, where men and women may laugh and love and feast until the end of days in the Father's golden hall.[1][2] The Faith holds that there are seven heavens and seven hells.[3][4][5][6] Each of the seven hells is deeper than the next.[7] Those who repent of their sins can taste the sweet milk of the merciful Mother in the afterlife,[8] while those who do not repent their sins go to the seven hells;[9] although The Seven-Pointed Star states that all sins may be forgiven, crimes must still be punished.[4][8] The Lord of the Seven Hells is said to command demons and practice black arts.[10]
The night lands are the afterlife of the Dothraki religion.[11] Tradition dictates that when a rider of the Dothraki dies, his horse is slain and the two bodies are burned on a funeral pyre so they can ride together to the night lands,[12] which are said to have endless black grasses.[13]
