When Tailspinner left the game, Tail allowed me to run her as an NPC and then Thateous took over the character for a while. I'm fairly certain that I had an agreement with Tailspinner to have Aureus fade out of the game at some point but that was before Thateous took over the character, so I don't know if Tail would mind me bringing her back to continue as an NPC. (I would like to honor that original agreement with Tailspinner.)For that has been the plan, somewhat, even after she became a fulltime NPC under my control. Now, I hadn't thought she would die, but it could be a heroic but tragic end to her character arc. I think that is what I prefer, even though I love the character and would have liked to see how I would have had her evolve in my world. Characters die and sometimes they don't come back, especially in this world.For example, if Aureus had been a worshipper of one of the North Gods, she wouldn't be coming back to life (probably) anyway. There are religious restrictions in Pantheon of the North about raising the dead. The North God of the Dead and Underworld is Hades so that should give you and idea how hard it would be to raise her if she worshipped one of the North Gods. Clerics of the North Gods will use divine magic to raise their own worshippers that haven't taken the Death Oath, but there has to be a very important reason and the person's soul has to willing, even for resurrection (but not true resurrection).(That restriction is one of the reasons, if I'm remembering correctly, why [USER=6776182]@JustinCase[/USER] chose not to have Caerth be a druid dedicated to one of the North Gods and went with just being dedicated to nature itself.)Note, however, that Aureus's god is the hutaakan Immortal from the Mystara setting (Pflarr) with a different name (Vaflar), and the hutaakans, as a species, lives primarily in the western mountains that divide the Kingdom of Ahamudia from the rest of the Ragik Peninsula. That is far to the northwest beyond the Great Forest (Lorien and Phar's homeland). It's the same area where Angus adopted clan comes from too, but he knows hutaakans tend to stick to their own kind. That made Aureus unique among them. She had an urge to explore Harqual and see the world.(The hutaakans were brought to the Lands Harqual from one of my other campaign settings: Maran, or Dark World.)Maybe Tailspinner will post here and renew the plan for her adventures to end, or maybe it won't matter as much anymore since Tail was willing to pass on the character to Thateous.We'll figure it out, but I need to sleep some more.  <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤧" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f927.png" title="Sneezing face    :sneezing_face:" data-shortname=":sneezing_face:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🥱" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f971.png" title="Yawning face    :yawning_face:" data-shortname=":yawning_face:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f634.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":sleep:" title="Sleep    :sleep:"  data-smilie="20"data-shortname=":sleep:" /></blockquote>
