Thinking about my divine comedy themed mythology world again

I think it could be fun to have the primum mobile to sort of be a "grease trap" for the realms surrounding it, so that humans and other mythical beings get pulled into there for various reasons, either once they die and thus get reincarnated there or they're pulled into the realm by other means

Wikipedia word of the day is primum mobile : (astronomy, historical) The outermost celestial sphere of the heavens in Ptolemaic astronomy, which was believed to cause all the inner spheres to rotate. (chiefly philosophy, theology) The prime mover or first cause (“an initial cause from which all other causes and effects follow”). (by extension) The person or thing that is the main impetus for some action; a driving force. Today is UN Arabic Language Day, one of six such days established by UNESCO to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity and to promote the equal use of its working languages. The term primum mobile is a calque of Arabic مُحَرِّك أَوَّل‎ (muḥarrik ʾawwal, literally “first mover”).
