(Removed Eilistraee and Mystra, who *did* come back to life)
Line 269:
* This is a popular trope in ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]'', [[Popularity Power|although the body count is significantly higher for recently introduced characters than it is for those who have been around for years.]]
* The rules of ''[[Exalted]]'' states very clearly that for all amazing things magic and charms and exaltation can accomplish, dead is dead and you can't be brought back. And while reincarnation is a common theme and you may have memories of previous lives, it's made clear that it's not so much ''your'' past life as just a past life that happened to have the same shard, which retained a few memories that you can use. And, although spirits do exist, as well as undead, and weapons that can have souls bound to them (rather painfully), one can never return to life.
* After countless deaths and resurrections, the goddess Mystra of ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' is strongly implied to be dead for good after being murdered by ''[[Not So Harmless|Cyric]]'' of all people.
** Should be noted that "countless" in this case translates to "two". Still, a lot of people doubted it was going to stick, and so far there've been no signs of them undoing it.
** Another deity who explicitly isn't coming back is Eilistraee, the drow goddess of [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]].
