I. Getting Started
G. Death - Death and favors
1. Death
a) What happens when I Die?
Death in Elanthia is an important facet of your life. There is
always the chance that when you hunt you will die. Some things you
want to think about when you die.
b) Try to get help from friends or a fellow adventurer. Death is
much easier this way.
c) ALWAYS… I repeat ALWAYS carry at the least 4 Favors.
d) Get a Cleric to save your memories with Rejuvenation.
e) If there happens to be a Raising cleric and an Empath around ask
POLITELY if they can raise you.
(1) If there has been an invasion and you have favors, Ask for a
Paladin to Glyph you and once they have DEPART. This saves the
Empaths and clerics much work.
(2) TIP your Empath and Your Cleric! And say Thank you! They
don't HAVE to help you. It's their choice.
f) If you can not get a Paladin and you need to Depart, If you have
a friend near you use the Consent verb to give them consent to hold
your stuff if you don't get back to your grave in time.
g) Remember, there is always a risk involved in hunting. The risk
is to our bodies and our things. Take care and you can minimize the
risks.
2. Favors
a) So, you are probably wondering why you should have favors. Well,
for the first five deaths or until you advance in your guild the
gods will give you grace to depart if you should die in a hunting
accident for instance. But after that, favors are life. And if you
should die without favor only an extremely generous cleric will
stand between you and the Starry Road. Because if you are without
favor when you die the cleric will have to give of his own favor for
you to live again- and as I know from experience other clerics are
not always available.
Getting favors is not difficult. Before you set about the task you
may wish to go to the library in the cleric's guild and read a book
titled THE IMMORTALS. It will tell you about the gods. After that,
seek the Siergelde ruins out the west gate and pray. The gods will
tell you what to do from there. If you are still lost most clerics
and many others will be happy to aid you further in your quest for
favor with the gods.
b) If you die without favors, there is a LARGE chance that you will
walk the road and lose your character and items.
