These answers are just from me before this began.

1) Yes, the Deities do exist on another plane and it is possible to travel there, but only if Death has taken an extreme interest in you.

2) For a visual theme, this is rather difficult as the human culture is very different in terms of different countries. The place where the primary protaganist is raised is similar to that of Cyrodill from Elder Scrolls 4, being very European and mountainous in appearance. Other places may vary.

3) Religion isn't a topic I gave much thought to during it's creation. This 2nd race worshipped Death as a God due to them being more spiritual than humans. That and they have horns on their heads, and so does Death. Other than that, it's open to ideas.
