Whoah… this is all an amazing and twisted process. I love it. I'm imagining some paladin traveling to inspire those who will be stuck in the wall to great deeds of any kind so they are still useful souls in the cosmological battle against demonkind now.

Do many mortals know of this fate?! Beyond the basics of the False and the Faithless and the Wall and the torments, no. Not even all that many senior clergy. (I.e. it's flexible campaign time for DMs. ;} )#Realmslore

Many people equate the faithless to Atheists in real life. I know that’s not being said in the tweets showcased above, but I’m taking the opportunity to clear it up for any who may read this showcase and this comment.
Atheists believe there are no gods or spirituality. There is no faith in karma, deities, any higher power. Atheists believe it’s just life and nothing with no existential purpose.
Faithless know the gods exist in the realms, therefore they cannot be Atheist. For them to be atheist in a realm where gods can be proven through clerical powers, they would be our equivalent of flat-earthers.
