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.
