[ Astarion had heard about the strange necromancy of this place; no, more than necromancy. People aren't brought back as mere ghouls or other undead, but actually alive once more. Or, at least, so it goes for the people who were actually alive to begin with. With his luck, Astarion would probably be brought back as a vampire spawn again. ]

I'm not sure I follow. One's soul is reunited with their body when they're brought back, isn't it? Though I suppose that means the gods aren't getting their due...

[ He sounds darkly amused by the thought. Certainly, he doesn't feel that the gods deserve much at all for all the help they've been to him during his lifetime. ]
