The Dead Fields

Overseen by Bern, the god of the dead and of the afterlife, the dead fields are a massive collection of farmlands. They are the major expanse of Orizon’s afterlife, and the fate that awaits most of the souls of Orizon’s dead. The size of the dead fields are mutable, they are precisely as large as they need to be to accommodate the souls that occupy it and there is always more work that needs to be done.

The souls of the dead can be seen wandering this place, working at their assigned tasks in the fields, harvesting the food of the gods and their servants. The labor is endless, and souls are put to the chores that suit them best, or that they choose. Just as one field is harvested, another becomes overgrown and must be cleared and the work continues.

Souls in the dead fields are compelled to work, this effect is not total and can be resisted, but eventually the spirits will always return to their labor. These endless tasks of agriculture become less and less strenuous as souls forget their muscles and their old lives and eventually become repetitive motions that allow the mind to think freely. This is a system designed to eventually become a sort of meditation, allowing the soul to put themselves at peace and work away their old lives and identities and pass on in peace.
