Only people of sufficent rank are worth of rasing. (military campaign) A council of judgement decideds if you are worthy. Only raise members of MY race, unless racial/national intrests are at stake.If done by a party member, the cultural bias can be avoided - but many clerics will be reluctant do do so.also 5,000-15,000 diamonds are not common, the party was overjoyed to find one in a mages treasury.  Basically it was an insurance policy.</blockquote>
