How is death viewed in the world you come from?
[Now there's a question. Mogget pauses a moment before he continues, just to let it sink in.]
In the Old Kingdom, when one dies, their soul moves over into a different realm. There they traverse nine gates along a river until finally passing on. I understand that this isn't the norm outside of my home world.
[Not close to it, in fact.]
So, indulge me, if you would.

[That did make a bit more sense, he supposed. And he had to admit being curious as to how other worlds handled their version of the Underworld, considering his own connection to it.]
You sound as though you have some personal experience in it, then. Returning the feistiest of dead to their unwanted rest... how commendable, how tiresome, if so. These people who successfully fight against the current- what sort of life do they manage to return to? There's any number of degrees of undeath.

[Not one he's going to talk about, given that it passes far too closely to revealing his true nature and no one is going to hear about that.
The other query though... well, he can answer that.]
Those who manage to return would be the Lesser Dead, and in most cases need to find an anchor of some kind. These would normally be the vacant bodies of the recently deceased, or some other form they have been forced into by a necromancer or Greater Dead that controls them.
