The Spirit World** is governed by the Bälezu** (BAY-le-zoo), Dalus to the Malatestans, who is the keeper of the souls of the departed and 7th among the Valar**. His is the power to open or close the paths to and from the Spirit World** and to see the deaths of all those who live. Great mastery he holds over divination, though he does not share his visions by any command except that of Miralnas**. He is counted among the Aralim**.
