Actually, most accomplished Saints of Malkionism attained Solace, but they somehow prefer to stay around. The Aeolians (as I see them) and likely a couple of other Henotheist sects, maybe even the Carmanians and the Lunars, include several of the major gods, thereby defining the stage between mundane life and Solace what the God Learners called the Godplane. They are said to be wrong by other sects, but what does that prove?

As far as I am concerned, Malkion did this when the difference between (immortal) men and deities wasn't that great in the Kingdom of Logic. That was before the Darkness stroke, though...

Go to Ralios... There is little which won't have some obscure sect there to support it.
