Description
The Soul Stream is where Nao resides. Numerous owls are seen flying in the area. This is also where the Added Soul Phenomenon occurs and Nao is able to direct the souls of those from other worlds, Milletians, to Erinn. It connects to all of Erinn and therefore anyone in the Soul Stream can come out anywhere in Erinn. There are other Soul Streams for other worlds.
Players go through the Soul Stream during their birthday (the character's original creation day - not necessarily Saturday, the age-up day), the Rebirth process, and the April Fool's Event.
In the birthday, when the player logs in, Nao will appear and give them a random accessory. Players can talk to her with the Keywords they've gathered throughout their journey.
For the rebirth process for a Human, Elf, or Giant, Nao will appear, aiding them through rebirth.
When rebirthing as a Pet, Tin will appear in Nao's place and follow the same procedures as if rebirthing through a humanoid character.
During the April Fool's Event, when the player logs in, Ferghus will appear in Nao's place, giving them a Ferghus's Free Repair Coupon.

As revealed in Generation 15, years ago a young Morrighan created the Soul Stream after discovering a "hole" in the sky, presumably the portal to another world in which the Milletians came from, which she called a "Magical Door." Cichol was afraid, but succumbed to Morrighan's will. Later, Cichol proposes that she places a seal to prevent outsiders from Erinn from entering, but she disagrees, eventually resulting their friendship disbanded.
Sometime later, Shakespeare accidentally stumbles into the Soul Stream and arrives in Erinn, though how he appears in the Soul Stream is unknown.

Cichol attempts to destroy the Soul Stream to begin "Tir Na Nog's Doom." He uses the final boss, the Doppelganger, to do so. It is fought in a previously unvisited portion of the Soul Stream. There, a large portion of the platform is made of a transparent material, and in the center, there is a large Celtic Knot, the symbol of Mabinogi. Although it is not certain where the stairs that lead downward or upward head to, it is assumed that these stairs lead down to Erinn and up to other portion of the Soul Stream.

When Shakespeare asks Cichol about being a "Puppet of the Goddess", he claims that the Soul Stream is responsible for the disasters occuring in Tir Na Nog, which is why he wants to destroy it. When Morrighan failed to protect the world with Milletians, she chose to seal it off.
If "Destruction of Paradise" is chosen, Cichol reveals that the Soul Stream was not of Erinn and the Gods were incapable of controlling it. Morrighan tried using Milletians, which instead only hastened the demise. The Shadow Realm, the Other World, and the Beach of Scathach were severely corrupted by the Soul Stream, although how it was affecting these areas is never explained.
Morrighan plans to use Bella, the Emissary of Destruction, to seal off the Soul Stream. To achieve this, Bella possesses Lugh who then recruits Peaca's undead forces and stages a massive war between them and the Tuatha de Dananns of the entire Aliech Kingdom. The genocide produced enough souls which, along with Bella's own, would be sacrificed to seal off the Soul Stream. The action succeeds and Morrighan claims the Soul Stream will no longer affect Tir Na Nog.
Soul Stream as it appears before the finale, as Bella closes it off preventing Milletians from rebirthing into a new body.
Soul Stream as it appears after purification, after Lugh is defeated. Now it is no longer a threat to Erinn.

In Episode 6 Nao reveals that the Soul Stream has been polluted, allowing the Cessair to possess the Milletians to transform them into demonic creatures and use them to attack Erinn's inhabitants. The only way to stop this would be to destroy the Soul Stream altogether, though this is not an option.
Ruairi and Tarlach reveal in the NPC Commentary that they somehow came in contact with the Soul Stream and inherited Milletian traits, including rapid aging.
In Episode 8, it is revealed that Tarlach put the pollution on the Soul Stream as a plot to destroy the Gods under the belief that they and the Soul Stream are the cause of Erinn's problems.
In Episode 10, with Tarlach's eventual downfall, it is unknown if the Soul Stream remains polluted and if the Milletians are still affected by it.
