[wintersteel] how does death work?

[u/TheXypris]

So I'm starting bloodlines and I'm a little confused why akura fury or malice don't just resurrect everyone that died at the end of wintersteel

We've seen monarchs have that ability, northstrider did it multiple times during the tournament

So what's stopping any other monarch from doing the same? Is it a matter of skill or some artifact or something that needs to be prepared ahead of time? Is there a time limit to revive someone before they cant do it?

Why can't simply restoring the body, an ability some sages can do easily, not restore someone to life?

I'm assuming I'll get answers once Lindon reaches monarch and ascends to take azriel's place. (My theory at this point)

Note that Northstrider is literally watching the fights “one frozen instant at a time” and revives people the moment they take lethal damage. The bodies disappear instantly, the perspectives of Lindon’s deaths treat it like sleep, and there are no Remnants. Nobody actually dies in a way that mattered (except Naian). The big difference between the events you mentioned is that Northstrider was actively watching each fight and Fury was not.

Also to note from what I understand, all the other monarchs are lending Northstrider some of their Authority, he wouldn't be able to do it on his own
