Hi mods! Two related questions and one completely different question:
1a. I was looking around the setting pages and could only find wyverns directly mentioned as living in Shaarnath. Are there wild or trained groups of wyverns in Verens as well? 1b. Since Blue is a Pokémon trainer and can demonstrate that he has existing experience and ability, would a job in training wyverns be viably considered, even though he's a young teenager?
2. Similarly to above, is there a University or other place of scholarly study in Verens? If so, how easy would it be for a teenager to get a sort of understudy or assistant job with research there, if they demonstrate a familiarity and knowledge with the subject matter? It doesn't seem like traditional degrees exist, so I assume that isn't a requirement.
3. Completely unrelated to the above questions: While I'm sure each of the cities has totally differing opinions and traditions on this matter, are there any common accepted ideas of afterlife? For example, do natives reference or believe in a heaven and hell? Do they believe in reincarnation? Are there mythological figures they accept as connected to afterlife, like a judge of the dead, angels, a Hades like figure, etc? I only saw information regarding the Reaper which references a hell briefly, but it doesn't go into any detail about how the dead get there! To be clear, I'm more interested in the common cultural perception than how the actual PC death mechanic handles this.
