The Black Shore is one of the two borders between Postea and the obscene depths. This shore is the first place that the people of Orizon arrive upon when they die. It is a vast shoreline of black diamonds and a sky with no stars. Suffusing this beach is a faint glow with numerous different colors making it up. Above, though there are no stars, can be seen the faint glow of the energy of the souls of the dead passing on.
Souls of the dead may remain on the shores for as long as there is someone who knew them that still lives. Upon waking on the sand many souls find themselves with friends and loved ones, or sometimes even their enemies surrounding them on the shore. Planar travelers or astral wanderers sometimes search for the recently departed on these shores.
The sea at the edge of this shore begins as a place of peaceful waves but soon becomes a churning, roiling, terror. Souls that are too weary of existence step into these waters and are soon washed away, their identities destroyed and the energies of their lives and souls returned to the world.
After their time on the shore is concluded, there are many things that await the dead. At any time they may leave the shores and go to the fields of Bern. There is also the danger for the souls of the evil, that the diamond sands might crack, and they will be dragged down in a cage to the obscene depths.
The souls of the honored dead will be approached when their time on the sands is done, or when they begin to leave, by the servants of a god. This servant will take them forwards to the celestial gardens where they can relax or serve the gods.
A final choice for the souls of the dead is to make their way to the Battlefield, to join in the endless war.
