I'm under the impression (which is probably therefore wrong) that all the Genertelan cultures *except* the Malkioni believe in reincarnation for the normal soul. That is those who don't get eaten by Chaos/Entropy or promoted to some sort of deity-hood. Oh, or become Humakti. Certainly recall that the trolls of THE HAUNTED RUINS were surrounded on the spirit-plane by the souls of clan members waiting for re-birth.

Malkioni believe you get one shot and ought to be damn grateful for even that....
