>I assume there is ritual to get there.
Usually, but you can stumble in there by accident sometimes.
>What happens to your body? Do you disappear or does your body stay
> here in the real world and your soul go to the otherworld?
Mostly it goes with you, I think. It depends.
>What happens if you are killed there?
I think that depends on how "deep" you are. Also from a game mechanics point of view different sets of rules and different quest writeups say different things about death. Quite often, death is just a minor setback. At other times, it may result in total destruction of the soul. Tricky question.
>Is the god world and the spirit world the same? Are there spirits
floating around everywhere?
Not the same - not usually anyway.
>What about all of your dead ancestors? If there are there, that would be
a lot of fricken people!
If you go to the Hall of Orlanth, then yes, all your ancestors are there, all good Orlanthi who ever lived. Orlanth's hall stretches as far as you can see, eagles soar over the storm clouds that gather half way to the rafters, and getting from one side to the other can take an eternity. But you're in the God Time, and an eternity is not very long at all if you set your mind to it. If you get distracted, though, you can end up never returning home. Which might not be so bad, if the distraction is a pleasant one, but your mortal relatives will miss you.
