| Question: | ...that Dereth was a world you couldn't die on? I took this to mean that one can't die of old age, but does it mean that if someone dies of old age, they will become undead? I also seem to remember that there were no new undead since the lifestones, which would seem to say that no one dies... Thanks |

| Answer: | Hamud is a man who believes in the power of the sword. Ending another's life or ending one's own can't be done here. From Hamud's point of view, a life without risk is no life at all. Thus, he feels existence here is pointless and bleak. Most undead are thousands of years old, the remnants of a civilization previous to Asheron's. A few were created shortly after the lifestones appeared - the artifacts did not work properly at first. Instead of resurrecting you, they'd reanimate your corpse. The Frisirth of Frore was known to have a spell capable of severing one's tie to a lifestone, thus the fate of the Tremblant party. It is assumed that Bael'Zharon knows how to do this as well. |
