[failed!Anon.... charter magic is a pain]

What are your thoughts on death?

Where do you go when you die? What will it be like?

Do you ever consider raising the dead?

I believe dead is dead, no matter how painful it is. If someone has a comfortable afterlife, I don't want to pull them out of it.

[death_sender]

What if they have not reached the afterlife yet.

[the_air_corsair]

The I suppose nothing is lost by talking to them, but messing with the natural order in general usually doesn't have positive effects.

I can see maybe if it's to get vital information or save someone who's alive.

[death_sender]

I would have to agree.

[thricedeadwind]

No, I do not consider such an unnatural practice.

You should be wary when issuing such a sentiment here, miss.

[death_sender]

... I wasn't aware you could see who was writing this...

I was wondering what the community thought... necromancy is a large part of my life now.

[thricedeadwind]

If you had attempted to post such a query here anonymously, you have unfortunately failed to do so.

Indeed? From my rather limited experience, the price of bringing those from the dead into the living world is paired with too high a price.

[death_sender]

... I should study my marks more...

It is all relative. It depends on the spirit and how long they have been in Death.

I'm quite certain that when I die I'm going to hell, but I'm not planning for that to occur for a good long time.

Why, are you looking for a means to raise someone? I wouldn't recommend it.

[death_sender]

I do not know what I believe of an afterlife...

I have means. I am looking to see what people think of it.

[tyki_tock]

I have means, also. What's the catch with yours?

[death_sender]

It would depend from what viewpoint you are looking at. Necromancers see no catch.

[tiedbyfate]

Why do you want to know those things?

[death_sender]

I am curious of people's beliefs.

[tiedbyfate]

I don't know what happens after people die. I've never wanted to raise anyone from the dead, and if I did I wouldn't do it. Zombies aren't pretty, and even the legal ones are only doomed to a slow death.

It's pointless. Eventually everyone dies anyway.

But if they wanted to live enough, then they should make their own decision about whether to come back a zombie or not.

[death_sender]

When you raise a spirit here, it is a spirit trapped in Death that has not ventured into the afterlife. These spirits want to return to Life. They should not be allowed to...

[drifterforhire]

My old man always said that our souls return to Filgaia. All things are born of Filgaia, and when we die, we return to her once more.

[death_sender]

That is an interesting belief.

[drifterforhire]

Well, what do you believe?

Raising the dead? I don't think that's right. And people can't do that where I'm from. Though that doesn't stop some people from comin' back anyway.

[death_sender]

I am not sure... not about the afterlife.

I would have to agree.
