Another person died. A mother of three, with another in her womb, her death was nothing more unusual than a typical raid. And yet, her death was special, for it was a breaking point. Enough souls were floating around Tantiy that It realized that the dead had nowhere to go.
So what did It do? It changed that.
First, Tantiy found a world which was uninhabited, far from any world of the living. Upon this world, deemed Thanos, Tantiy placed many things. It became a facsimile of the mortals' worlds, with cities and forests, wastelands and waters, even plants, facsimile animals, and camps. Most importantly was a stone placed at the south pole of the world, the Thanos Stone, which emitted a strange stuff, Ether. Ether flows like a combination of light and water, spreading through the universe. Only the dead sense it, and they are drawn to it.
But the presence of this beacon and this land for the dead would not be enough; the dead would have to be able to get there, as well. So Tantiy made a number of portals, the Death's Doors, leading from Thanos to every other world, invisible to mortal eyes but clear to the Ethersighted dead, so allow the dead to go there. And thus Thanos, the Afterlife, was created.
Act? Shape Thanos.
Act? Create the Death's Doors.
