[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9195926, member: 54629"] On a related note, Keith Baker goes into death and resurrection in Eberron in some detail on one of his DMs Guild books. A big thing with Eberron is that once souls end up in Dolurrh, they start to fade away. Most religions preach that the souls are passing on to their respective afterlives (that is, they're going to spend eternity with the Sovereigns or becoming one with the Silver Flame or whatever), but no one knows for sure. This [I]can [/I]put a hard limit on resurrecting people who've been gone for a while, though. There's also the Queen of the Dead (inspired by the Raven Queen) who rules over Dolurrh. She doesn't always take kindly to people snatching the souls of the dead back and may send her shadar-kai or even her marut servants after them. Keith mentions that House Jorasco healers will always cast [I]augury [/I]before raising someone from the dead, and if the result is unclear or bad, they won't do it. Another option he talks about is how the Keeper sometimes snatches souls from Dolurrh. While it's unclear if the Keeper really exists or not, one can potentially visit the Lair of the Keeper in the Demon Wastes and petition the dracolich there for assistance. [/QUOTE]
