Well, first bear in mind that KoS isn't meant to be a 'complete guide' but a partial view. And second: it don't say anything against it either. I think that the eventual fate of people's souls isn't a topic that concerns most people.

I like that image! I wonder what happened to them when Argrath destroyed the Old World.

I never thought they did. Either/or.
By the way, on the topic of souls, I'd like to point out that though (according to most Gloranthan sources) your self survives death in nonphysical form, that self isn't necessarily to be identified with your current personality and consciousness. Kos mentions (in What Happens When You Die) that your spirit self mutates from being just the ghost of a human into a true denizen of the spirit plane in a mutation rather like a larva becoming a butterfly. This is slightly different from the 'traditional Christian' picture that some folks have been objecting to.
