[Warhammer40k] What happens after I die? Questions about the afterlife.

I have read that any man who serves his life in the name of the Emperor shall sit at his table after death. However I have also read that when fighting the forces of chaos once someone dies, their soul is immediately feasted upon by the demons which are present within the Immaterium. This has raised several questions:

1. Does the Emperor's table even exist? The Emperor was an atheist and favored the sciences, but would his extreme physic ability allow him to create a "table" or some kind of afterlife for his people to chill at?

2. Are all souls feasted upon by demons once they die? Or do they have to be relatively near chaos influence?

3. If I am the average, Emperor loving, backwater planet Imperial citizen and I die, what happens to my soul? Does it reach the Emperor's table even though I never fought for the Emperor? Or am I feasted upon by demons, even though I'm not even close to any form of chaos?

4. What if I'm a guardsman and I die in battle? What if die fighting chaos?

5. What if I'm a space marine and die in battle?

6. What if I'm apart of the Tau Fire caste? Since they aren't Warp sensitive are they feasted upon or do they have their own form of afterlife?

7. What if I'm a chaos space marine? Am I gobbled up as well after death or am I awarded (in what way?) for serving the dark gods?

8. Are there any other kinds of afterlives, or is everybody just totally screwed?

1. The Emperor was an atheist in life because He knew that fervent and zealous worship of religion can often be subverted into worship of Chaos. History have shown us that the Catheric adherents are most vulnerable to this, particularly during the Age of Strife. When the God-Emperor ascended, He knew that faith was critical to preserve the Imperium of Man. Hence, through His chosen, the Ecclesiarchy was formed to guide and protect Humanity from the worship of the Arch-Enemy. The Emperor's Table is not a literal table. It is the creation of the God-Emperor to hold the souls of his faithful until the final battle to determine the fate of the galaxy.

2. Most souls do not have the fortitude nor strength to maintain their form in the Immaterium. Only through faith and unerring duty does the soul be able to guided to His Table. On the other hand, psykers and those who consort with Chaos resonate brightly within the Warp. Therefore making them more likely to be consumed.

3. If you have stayed strong to your duties and serve the Imperium, then yes, your soul is given a seat at His side even if you are a backwater hobo from the most obscure Sector of the Imperium. Unless your local government has been subverted by Xenos or Chaos.

4. Greater glory awaits those who defend the ideals of the Imperium on the battlefield! Only the truly diabolical and ancient daemons can prevent the souls of Guardsmen from reaching the Emperor.

5. Space Marines have sacrificed much to be the ultimate defenders of Humanity. They are denied rest by His side until their never-ending duty to eradicate both Xenos and the Arch-Enemy is complete. Every Astartes who dies on the battlefield is given a chance to again fight for the Emperor through his geneseed. Thus even the greenest of Adeptus Astartes carry the weight of 10,000 years of duty of every Astartes before him.

6. Those filthy Xenos scum are doomed to be forever beholden to the Materium. Their heretical teachings would not survive the turbulences of M41.

7. **DO. NOT. SPEAK OF THOSE WHO BETRAYED HIM. THEY ARE FOREVER CAST AWAY FROM HIS SIGHT AND MERCY.**

8. The Greenskins believe that each *Boy* comes back in a different body to fight another day. The decadent Xeno scum known as the Eldar keep their souls in soulstones, for their souls are immediately consumed by Slaanesh. A just punishment for the ones who destroyed the galaxy and Humanity's Golden Age in their decadence and hedonism.
