What's the point of an afterlife if you can still die?

He’s gone, souls of people and animals killed in the afterlife and those who are natural denizens like Fae and Stewards dissipate into pure anima when killed and reincarnate as something/someone else, with no prior memory of who they once were (and as a new entity of whatever species they were prior, a Steward reincarnates as a new Steward for instance). According to WoWpedia.
