In pathfinder, existence more or less seems like a closed system in that nothing is wasted and anything that can actually 'delete' things from the multiverse are universally awful and "evil". So I was wondering what happens to an outsider's corpse when they actually kill killed.
I had a discussion a bit ago with a friend who cited from like the tome of fiends or some book that covered evil outsiders that supposedly said that, when killed, the 'souls' of the outsider is just lost forever. But from everything I knew and thought, I am certain that the quintessence of their 'soul' is not lost and just gets fed back into the closed system of existence.
Could someone help me with this lore question? And possibly provide sources that could either explain why the 'souls' of the outsiders are not permanently gone from the system or give to me more stuff than what my friend used to verify that a dead dead outsider is gone forever in all forms?
You should ask James Jacobs in his AMA thread ---> JJ's AMA
He answers Lore questions like this all the time, and is the Creative Director, so there's no better source for this info than him.
Ah! Thank you!
