hat About Hell?

Before Winter's Heart - Archive Only: Miscellaneous Theories

i don't know whether this has been thought about before coz i didn't have enough time to go through all the theories before this began bugging me .... now i was thinking about death and ressurection in WoT boz of the notes about the black cord and the forsaken's ressurection . it struck me that there's no real hell or anything mentioned in the books , only the DO take you or things like that . but we do know for a fact that heroes like Birgitte and Gaidal Cain are reborn or spun out from the wheel from time to time and also that Artur Pendrag and all the other heroes are waiting somewhere for the final battle . So are these heroes or ta'veren stuck in a vacuole or in tel'arin'rhiod ? and so what happens to the rest of the people that die ? after all it seems that only the forsaken , the Dragon and some heroes were reborn ...

I haven't seen this thought before on the subject of religion in Randland. RJ hasn't defined it within these books, I know he made a comment in an interview concerning this topic but I can't remember his reply at this moment. But his hasn't really mentioned Heaven nor Hell up to this point...I will see if I can find it.
