The cleansed take on animal forms that match their personalities in life. When a mortal dies, their soul travels to the Boneyard in the Outer Planes where they're judged by Pharasma, the goddess of the dead. Once judged, their soul is sent on to their final reward or punishment and, in the process, transformed into a creature known as a shade. This transformation grants the soul a new body, one whose shape is determined by the prevailing philosophical forces of the plane to which they're sent. A
