“You never forget the first time you die.”

The Firmament: the timeless realm of the universe’s all-powerful bureaucrats, supervising every aspect of the universe’s life.

Full of grand marble temples and waffle huts, accommodating an infinite stream of immortal denizens, who just pop into a new body every time they die.
