In Pahn Kahltheir theology, the [[Returned]] are those who lived just lives but died lacking in faith. They are forbidden entrance into heaven, but are sent not sent to hell. Instead, they are given a second chance to find the true faith in life by Returning.{{annotation ref|wb|chapter=29}} Many of the Pahn Kahl do not mind the Returned, and accept the God King as monarch.{{book ref|wb|15}} They simply see the Returned as misguided. Since they do not see them as divinities, the only thing the Pahn Kahl find extraordinary about the Returned is the strength of their [[BioChroma]].
