Dragonfolk can sense & interact with souls in ways that most other creatures cannot. . . A unique tradition to dragonfolk is the practice of creating "soul lanterns" . Soul lanterns are vessels that can contain a soul safely & securely, especially used to transport souls to a place where they can pass into the proper plane & begin their journey in the afterlife. Though dragonfolk can sense souls, usually they cannot have meaningful interactions with a soul without the help of a vessel. Once a soul is contained in a dragonfolk lantern, it can feel clarity & identity again, as if it had a body. Some souls can manifest rather strongly, and can even be conversed with. A soul having a safe journey to the afterlife is considered a basic, owed respect to all living things.
