Editing Psychopomp

Will escort the Self echoes and spirits to their appoited place<ref>The typhlotic denizens of the Ruins will stalk and kill echoes, and psychopomps will handle spirits, echoes, and souls with a more deft, intelligent hand. - Wildnow on Discord</ref> while anything left will be open to the [[Typhlotic]] to devour.

[[Valkyries]], even practitioner ones, can serve as psychopomps. Either standing in for an actual one and getting cachet from the universe or for their own purposes to create items.<ref>“Right.  In this case, you’ve got practitioners convincing warriors, usually dying soldiers, that there’s an amazing afterlife of parties and respect for their deeds waiting for them, so the warriors agree to give up their spirits after death.  Use that agreement to help make a vestige or create a ghost, a representation of their skills or their knowledge, their strength, whatever else, and imbue all of that into a vessel.” - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/01/25 Excerpt] from [[Damages 2.3]]</ref><ref>“As Valkalla, male Valkyries, Max and I are combat practitioners, we’d belong in the moot.  We transport spirits, manage and harvest Soul and Self, we can act as psychopomps to get credit with the universe, we’re already halfway there, we might as well do that.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/11/12 Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.10]]</ref> 

They are the domain of the [[Sable]] [[Judge]]s,<ref>“Because she is the prey animal, the victim, and is vulnerable, by her very nature, just as I am chthonic death, gatekeeper, guide and guide of the other guides and psychopomps of our reality, and the Carmine is bloody violence.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/05/08/dash-to-pieces-11-3/ Excerpt] from [[Dash to Pieces 11.3]]</ref> so in the Ontario area the [[Sable Prince]] would step in to be a psychopomp if one were not present for an important death.<ref>“The way I look at it,” Lucy explained, fingers drumming on her printout of Verona’s suggested list of things to bring up at the sword moot, “is that the Judges, by the Seal, by Law, are meant to be the last ditch option.  Our first conversation with them, they were ‘a court of appeals, a final stop’.  If there’s a psychopomp in the area, they run the whole seeing-the-dead-off-to-the-afterlife thing instead of the Sable.  If there’s an incarnation of Death, they handle Death stuff instead of the Sable.  If there’s wrinkles in the nightmare-scape and Alpeana can wrangle that, she wrangles that.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/11/22/in-absentia-21-12/ Excerpt] from [[In Absentia 21.12]]</ref>
