> actually subjugglator beliefs might be the exception that proves the rule with the context that “trolls don’t believe in an afterlife, just a bunch of ghosts hanging around in the physical plane”

> while most religious traditions on alternia are concerned with the permanence and permeance of alternia and the fact that ghosts are just going to hang around forever, lord english’s ghost killing nature serves as a symbol of the fact that subjugglator’s reject this notion: anything in this world, even a ghost, is capable of being destroyed: this whole empire is just temporary, and the subjugglators are just waiting for it all to fall apart so they can get to the REAL afterlife all these infidels are rejecting.

> their wanton violence and general disregard for life reflect this viewpoint. why should anyone give a shit about LIFE on alternia if even the AFTERLIFE doesn’t mean anything? living or ghost, you’ll be destroyed when the vast honk arrives and ushers in the paradise planet of wicked minstrels and mirthful messiahs.
