The Land of the Dead is the only afterlife in the world of Daventry. It is made up of several layers. Three main layers are know, the surface of the Isle of the Dead, the Underworld, and further down the Dimension of Death. The so-called Dimension of Death is one of the deeper realms of the Land of the Dead, but there may be other layers still deeper. Lord Azriel (unofficial) is but a caretaker of one of the deeper realms along the River Styx, and not the ruler of the realm. His master is Lord of the Dead (unofficial); Samhain, who rules from the second level the Underworld.
