Purgatory

4.0

Purgatory is a realm between life and death.

General Information[]

Purgatory is a place in-between life and death where people can end up after they die.

It is believed that it is currently ruled and controlled by Norman Bones as he has brought people in and out of purgatory on several occasions.

Background Information[]

Purgatory was first revealed on June 23rd, 2021, when Irwin Dundee first struck a deal with Norman. ^[1]

Appearance[]

For most who have been to purgatory it appears as a misty island filled with dead trees, graves and bones. It is usually cold, dark and dead silent. Norman has also explained that time is experienced differently in purgatory. What might be only a day passing in the living world can seem like an eternity to someone in purgatory. Even though purgatory appears similar to most, according to Norman, every person has their own version of purgatory. Some examples of this would be how Irwin Dundee's purgatory appeared to have heavy snowfall in it and TJ Walker said his version of purgatory had a constant ticking noise. Purgatories are also separate from one another. One cannot simply travel to someone else's purgatory, but with the assistance of Norman, they can visit.

The two sides of the island are inverses of each other, balanced in a type of yin and yang. For instance, the giant skeleton on one side is balanced by the giant skeleton on the opposite side. Notable landmarks include:

The Lighthouse: A lighthouse can be seen in the distance. If one were to try and walk to it they would reach the edge of the water which ends abruptly by the lighthouse steps. One cannot walk up the stairs to the lighthouse.
The Fire: A fire can be found on one end of the island. Some have described it as a goblet or brazier which is surrounded by three human skulls which have smoke coming out of them. The exact meaning of the fire is unknown.
Giant Skeletons: Two giant skeletons appear opposite of each other, submerged in water.

Access[]

Normally, a mortal can only enter purgatory by dying.
Transported by Norman Bones.
Portal: Supernatural birds such as Noxee or the white crow have shown to possess powers to access purgatory through fiery portals. On January 16, 2025, the white bird Hope left a book for Alice Omen detailing the feathers and rituals required for a living person to open a Purgatory portal.
Ferry: A rowboat can sometimes be found at the shore to ferry people back to the living or the afterlife. Psychopomp Nancy Drew, who can ferry dead souls, once entered Purgatory (with a cloak made out of feathers dropped by Noxee) and guided a trapped Andi Jones to a rowboat to ferry her back to life.
Resurrection: Sloane Kelly and Cassandra Silverton once used science to resurrect Charlotte Greene's trapped soul into a new laboratory body inside of San Andreas Service, but Sloane discontinued the project afterward for ethical reasons.
