[[Death]] is usually considered an unpleasant occurance. It is caused by the loss of one's health in its entirety, thus severing the soul from the body. As long as you are dead, you will walk the lands as a soul, potentially affected by the influences of such objects as eye [[sigils]]. You will also slowly lose [[experience]]. There are a number of ways to return to the living, but few may be undertaken on one's own. The only foolproof way to return from death is to PRAY FOR SALVATION. This will transport you to the [[Halls of Maya]], which you will walk for a short time before meeting with the Lady Herself to be returned to life.

There are other, less reliable methods of resurrection. A friend may locate your corpse and immolate you in the [[Flame of Yggdrasil]] to resurrect you, or perhaps use your corpse in a [[Devotion]] resurrection. However, should your body be lost or defiled, your only alternative is to find a [[Groves]] user and their grove, who may resurrect you using only your soul.

It should be noted that almost every method of resurrection incurs some amount of experience loss, aside from that lost by the act of dying. Immolation is known to be one of the most costly in experience, alongside praying, and skill-based resurrections are rather less expensive.
