Two notable issues you encounter then, are the distance to your own little realm, and the elven question. Since last you saw to this afterlife duty, a realm for the dispossessed dead was created <span class="mu-i">approximately</span> in the region of Eindward, being that the realm of the dead is mostly a reflection of the living world. For you there is no trouble traveling from here to there, or any distance for that matter, traversing the dead realm is simple enough. But trying to guide lost souls that distance is both difficult and time-consuming, not to mention that souls on their own here will never be able to find their way towards Eindward on their own. Having a proper and dedicated afterlife could solve this problem, but in lieu of that your best option may be to relocate your own realm for the dead here. Unfortunately that would offload the troubles on the lost souls of that prior region, but gods know there's more a need here around Bexley...
...plus the consideration, if your penchant for having a divine realm, wouldn't be better suited for the living here? Helping the dead is wonderful and all, but what few living remain here could use all the help they can get, such as a divine realm better suited to them.
The second problem of course is the elves, and what to do of them. You know that they have their own faith, same as any sapient race really. As inhumans though who broke their covenant with the gods, the truth is that their faith isn't more than a delusion of the living. You yourself and gods like you are obviously real, and even the obscure faith of the mortals in these times for a singular God has substance to it, but any faith of the inhumans... worse than lost souls, they were doomed from the start. Though they do still have souls (albeit weaker, for diluting their humanity), most end up predated upon or twisted in undeath, for not even evil gods want anything to do with them.
<span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-i">Eugh... rotten things...</span></span>
You somewhat feel the same way, mostly because you are disgusted by the elven souls and don't want to sully yourself by even interacting with them. But same as the living elves, a part of your nature feels for them and if they could prosper rather than suffer, you would prefer it. Not that you have to help them, or that you even really want to, but it is a potential issue you notice in your shepherding duties of the human dead. If nothing else, it is at least a potential resource if you could find a way of looking at the problem, different from any other undeathly entities.
