    Death of Michael Roele

    Greetings,
    I have followed the discussion on the death of regents with great interest. As
    it seems that the death of Michael Roele is regarded as an important precedent
    as to whether regents can be raised or resurrected, I have had a second look at
    the novel and found a passage which I think has not yet been given any
    consideration in our ongoing discussion, cf. The Iron Throne, p. 499:
    "Aedan charged his way through the bodies all around him and reached Michael
    just as the Gorgon dismounted and raised his mighty sword for the killing blow,
    and the bloodtheft that would follow. In that instant, Michael struggled to his
    knees and reached out with his one remaining hand, placing his palm flat upon
    the ground. He jerked, convulsively, and bits of earth and rock erupted from the
    ground where he had placed his palm, grounding his powers, channeling them into
    the earth and denying Raesene the ultimate victory of bloodtheft. With a howl of
    rage, the Gorgon brought his blade down and cut Michael in two."
    While this does not solve the question whether Raise Dead is possible on Cerilia

    (respectively desirable in a campaign from the DMs point of view) it might
    explain that the priesthood would have had extraordinary difficulties due to
    this unusual form of demise of the late Emperor of Anuire.
    BTW, interesting power that Michael uses here, isn't it? I haven't found
    anything in the rules on this as yet. Anyone able to enlighten me?

    Prehaps its possible for a Blooded PC to relinquish their BL if they want.
    Since they can invest them into another person, why should they not be
    allowed to just throw them away. Of course, the event in the novel, makes a
    good basis for MR's Ghost being trapped in the Gorgon's realm, either as a
    prisoner, or as a tormentor.
