Editing Geist: The Sin-Eaters (section)

=== The Upper Reaches ===
The Underworld is typically only accessible through the use of Avernian Gates, which are usually in Cenotes or other places that death energies congregate, and the Upper Reaches are mostly just a grim reminder of the world the ghosts or Bound are leaving behind: Gates opened in cities will be in dark and dank subway tunnels, cemetary Gates will open out into massive catacombs, and it will be coated in all manner of shit that was broken and lost, up to and including whole buildings; just like the Ghosts themselves. If you keep following the path (and avoid the roving gangs of ghosts), you'll eventually make your way down to the River Cities, which are where most of these gates lead and for a vast majority of ghosts, where they're probably spending the rest of eternity. These Cities are a series of dilapidated super-favelas all stacked on top of each other, full of grieving spirits of all kinds fishing any sort of thin sustenance out of the waters that they can, and are ruled by ghost-gangs, krewes, cults and of course...the Reapers. There are ferrymen who can put you on your way even lower into the Underworld, but those places are even scarier than the ghetto full of ghosts.
