The last thing you remember is Earth.

Then... nothing.

A warm white light surrounds you, replacing the darkness with an endless marble hall beneath a sky of drifting stars.

A beautiful woman in white and silver robes smiles warmly.

"Welcome."

"I am Lady Nolyn, Goddess of Rebirth."

She inclines her head.

"My condolences. Your life on Earth has come to its natural end."

She raises a hand, and five glowing symbols appear before you.

"Every soul I personally welcome is granted the opportunity to shape their next life."

The symbols brighten.

Race.

Class.

Social Standing.

One Unique Skill.

Journey Difficulty.

"You may choose each for yourself, or entrust any of them to fate."

More lights gather around the symbols.

"You will awaken in Aetheria with the necessities appropriate to the life you choose."

She smiles gently.

"Now then..."

"What is your name?"
