Life in the W.E.L.L. world owns its emergence to the resurrect springs - water reservoirs formed where life-giving water broke out of the depth of the planet. No one can say for sure when the first living beings appeared on this mysterious planet or who they were, but there is no doubt their appearance was directly connected with the springs of life. The world around was unexplored and full of danger; after being killed every creature resurrected in the spring next to the place of its death.
The usual conception of death as the end of life is strange to cultures of all the seven races on the planet. This must be ascribed to the fact that the physical cover remains dead only temporally. The death that was always followed by resurrection was not feared. The belief in reincarnation passed on through countless generations made even the death of old age be accepted as natural as a sleep.
