[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9193399, member: 907"] Using 3e as a basis (because that's the most developed version of Eberron): In Sharn (according to the sourcebook), there are two unnamed adepts who work with house Jorasco and are capable of casting Raise Dead. Other sufficiently powerful casters are Archierophant Ythana Morr (of the Silver Flame), High Priest Phthaso Mogan (of the Sovereign Host), Mayne Jhaelian of Shae Lias (of the Undying Court), and Lan Hazal (of the Blood of Vol). But other than the two adepts, the others usually have better things to do with their level 5+ spell slots. Three of those religions also have theological problems with raising the dead: the Silver Flame believes that followers merge with the Flame after death and it would be a sin to deprive both them and the Flame of that without good reason, the Sovereign Host believes that after traveling through Dollurh the soul goes on to paradise with the Sovereigns, and the Undying Court believes only worthy followers should have life after death, and that this is best done via the process of becoming Undying. Only the Blood of Vol have the general attitude that death is something to be conquered. There's also an item called the Altar of Resurrection that lets scions with the Greater Mark of Healing or the Siberys Mark of Healing turn one of their dragonmark uses of [I]heal[/I]/[I]mass heal [/I]into [I]resurrection[/I], as long as the appropriate components are provided. Keith Baker's [URL='https://keith-baker.com/death-and-resurrection/']on record[/URL] as not liking that item at all though, as having commercially available resurrections would change the world by a lot – a big part of Eberron's appeal is that it takes a science fiction approach to D&D magic: "If this was available, how would it be used and what would that mean for society?"
