The Death of A Klingon Warrior
The Death of A Klingon Warrior
There is much debate as to what happens to a Klingon when they die. The three biggest theories are:
Nothing – Dissapears into nothing
Stovokor/Underworld – A place sought by most honorable Klingons.
Heaven/Hell – The same locations humans are well aware of.
Let’s have a detailed look at each location and see how reasonable each one is.
Nothing – Fairly boring which isn’t suprising
If a Klingon dies and nothing happens to them, then that would be the end of it. All their acts, beliefs, faith would be for not – whether good or bad. Those that died in honorable ways did so for nothing. There was no point for them to go the extra Klingon mile to become non-existant.
Stovokor (Sto-Vo-Kor) / Gre’thor
If a Klingon dies, then they had better hope they were a warrior, the price of a dishonorable death would mean going to meet a beast called the Fek’ihr. He was shown as a hologram in an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation. No dishonorable Klingon would want to meet him, especially since most dishonorable Klingons are cowards to begin with. Stovokor is a much nicer sounding place with Kahless waiting to greet the warrior. A Klingon fights most of his life to be worthy of Stovokor. The real dilemma is whether it really exists or not.
Let’s take a look at Stovokor to see what we know about it. It is said that Kahless guards the halls of Stovokor, that to get in a Klingon warrior must die in battle, allow themselves to be killed by another Klingon or a relative can perform a deed to help get them in, such as Worf with Jadzia.
Heaven / Hell
The Klingons are a humanoid life form, in the same image as humans. It is logical that the same thing that created humans, also created Klingons. In The Next Generation, an alien species said they planted life all over the quadrant, including Klingons and humans. If that is really the case, then Stovokor is either a location ran by these beings, or it is a mythical place made up by Klingons. On the other hand, if these aliens did not plant life in the quadrant and it was created by God from human culture’s Bible. Then that would mean that Stovokor is also a place made up, and that the only way for Klingons to enter heaven is by believing in Jesus just like humans. There is a lot more data and proof as to the existance of all the events in the Bible, including Jesus, even outside sources who were not followers recorded these events.
Summary
You should look at all the facts and decide for yourself. I personally believe in the Heaven/Hell, there is so much evidence in the creation of the world to suggest that is the only logical sequence of events. A string of random events to shape such a spectacular universe that meets all our needs on a planet like earth for example, is uncomprehensibly amazing.
