Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to remember the ConWorkShop theme for today, which is Death and the afterlife. The Rireinukave are not terribly keen on death because they expect they will have to face a reckoning of their deeds and misdeeds when Grandmother Death fetches them before the court of Kanavita, the Judge of the Underworld.

Having died, a Rireinukave will face Kanavita, the Judge of the Underworld, who will judge her merits assisted by Her two clerks, the Red Scribe of Virtue and the Green Scribe of Wickedness.
