In the southern end of Broken Stones, the air seems to shiver and shimmer. There seems to be an invisible field keeping any living animal from walking through this space, but the ghosts of the living are capable of striding right through it. Once passed through, the rolling hills, wide spaces, and dark forests of Purgatory are visible. The land has been described by many to be a meeting of Heaven and Hell; the forest parts and dark and dangerous, with lurking creatures, mutant spawn of the animals that live in Heaven and Hell. The rivers and streams that snake through the forest hiss and bubble with heat, steam rising and clogging the air. The hills and valleys, on the other hand, are stunning in their beauty. With deep lakes of crystalline, albeit slightly warm, water, swimming with fish and other sea creatures, as well as many large oaken trees that clamber for space in the clearing, the main gathering space for the deceased Rebels is by far one of the most beautiful places in all of Maison Belle.
