Is there any mythology around the afterlife in your world?

Credit: @SJHoodlet

The Children of Khalit, also known as the Somwhar, believe that they join their species ancestors if they lived an honorable live.
Khalit being the mother who brought them to life, their homeworld, the Asza'ni call them the Khali'ni for that reason, while the Somwhar insist that the Name of Khalit must be spoken entirely.
The afterlife is portrait as a never ending party of hunting, arts, as an eternal dance & enjoying live with their "parents." Between Khalit, also called Mother Khalil at times, Khalil is the language the Somwhar speak & it's told that she taught them how to speak, their father or seeder, basically the sun & the guardian, the somber ex partner of Khalit who now watches her child's, wiping away tears of sorrow & joy, from afar as their sworn protector, giver of water & peace, the moon of Khalit.

2/2
Die Bethosianer oder Bethos haben neben den Asza'ni eine stark auf Gerüchen und Pheromonen basierte Kommunikation welche für nicht angehöruge ihrer Spezies oder im Dauerkontakt mit anderen Spezies stehenden eher schlecht als recht funktioniert. Die Trellwa'ni haben, nach dem sie den Krieg gegen die Asza'ni gewonnen haben, sehr viel aus der Asza'ni Kultur übernommen und ihren Namen dahingehend angepasst (das war weit vor Gründung der Union). Sie können sogar mit der Kommunikation der Asza'ni mithalten, allerdings liegt dies nicht an ihren Nasen sondern an der Wahrnehmung von ultra Spektrum Licht, welches sich durch die Pheromone der Asza'ni und Bethosianer verändert. Auch die Somwhar als "Weltraumkatzen" haben einige Fähigkeiten in diese Richtung.

* one of the first things Ovate learned was about Red/Orange cats being "special" and since he has reddish orange fur himself he just "claimed" this trait for himself. He doesn't care that others find him kinda speciest in the portrayal of his species as a giant Terran house cat... His argument is that by being the seemingly only one doing it it can't be seen as a bad representation but is indeed a bolt move to be different.
On Terra he is a welcomed guest on musical related topics and he even has some Terra living Somwhar that like him for being so weird. Most of them wouldn't be so open on Khalit the homeworld of the Somwhar. It's a bit like people moving to another city to follow their interests without judgement. Well only on a galaxy wide level.

467. Out of every single one of your characters, who would be one who to believe in ghosts?

Somwhar Ovateh Reinbow. He is an prominent Somwhar musician that lives on Terra. The Somwhar have a very spiritual behavior towards their homeworld Khalit and it's inhabitants. Ovateh lives on Terra because he fell in love with its stories but especially with its cats.
For him they are a lost tribe of the Somwhar and he studied them for years now. He has a very stupid humor but is also very rooted in the believes of the Somwhar that Khalit is a living being and he believes Terra and it's Gaya Mythos to be as true as the Stories about Khalit being sentient being. He just would love to have more Terrans see that fact.

3/x have the ability to speak with closed or a full mouth as long their nostrils aren't blocked, in theory they als can keep prey in their fangs while speaking.

The name originally stood for their concept of their 2 moons & their sun. It's a long tragic love story between them. Basically the sun lost her partner moon to another moon partner & now the two moons dance in their home while the sun happy for their moon partner but als sad to do her loss & now being alone visits every day, keeping her distance, singing to the children of her loved moon so they may never feel alone.

Mond di Ra/Luna die Ra was the first translation that came out of the attempts do to Terran standard being mostly constructed of shorter words and concepts that broadly mean the same.

So her name could be interpreted as the Sun sings to the moon children.
