So the "greater lord" at the end is just another purgatory "lord"? The fact that he can apparently bring Disiri with him beyond just one level above her suggests that this is something further, a kind of "salvation"?

But I'm not sure about "after death," either. I mean, in a generally Christian situation, once you die, isn't that the end of your moral "trial"? Everything after is just consequence. But Able still has plenty to prove/learn about himself. That seems like a pre- rather than post-death situation.
