In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy.

Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
A lot of the strength of an RPG world lies in its foundation: its systems, lore, and when appropriate, its magic systems.

Mormonism truly was a part of my every decision since the day I was born. It taught me to serve others and to feel comfort about the next life. Who doesn't want to live for eternity and have a 'mansion in heaven'? It sounded like a rad deal to me when I was in my teenage years.
