Its existence drives the faith of the Blood of Vol; while the followers of this religion include necromancers and evil folks, the majority are simply people who think that going to Dolurrh sucks and want to find a way out of it. However, what happens once you get there is not common knowledge, nor is it agreed upon. Those who know about the plane know that it slowly strips away memories. Some believe this is a process of purification for reincarnation; others would say that this is the effect of slowly transitioning to the higher state of being with the sovereigns (you aren't losing your memories, they are slowly being transfered). So again, up to you. The big thing is that Dolurrh isn't actually eternal despair; eventually you fade away and pass to whatever may lie beyond. (And yes, I'd personally argue that this means that after a certain amount of time has passed means true resurrection may not be able to bring back someone who's been killed. While we could put a hard number on this, I'd prefer to leave it to the DM. If you want the epic PC cleric to be able to resurrect heroes from the war, go for it -- personally, I prefer for death to be a little more serious, so I'd make it something like 2d4+Wis modifier years before you pass on completely.</blockquote>
