The Afterlife: The Four Winds

To the nomads of Eastrun, the Four Winds are not only spirits who are greatly revered, but are the source from which the Daizu and the Hayao believe they will return. The four horses of Ao Shun, Ao Jun, Ao Chin and Ao Kuang make up the warlords of Shang Ti, the celestial emperor. Those who die will be claimed as part of the Batari of one of the four and will be felt thereafter in the physical world as winds and weather, but who are battling forever in the spiritual realm against foul spirits.
