yay! 10 points to me for noticing the references to black sabbaths amazing song "heaven and hell." in the title of the thread!

anyway. the "bad lifestream" isnt full of criminals and evil people. it is full of the people who died of geostigma. this corruption has nothing to do with people living their lives like criminals. id always imagined that when people die they return to the lifestream but when cetra die they dont truly die. they have more of an impact on the planet when they die and can manipulate the lifestream in some ways.
