And if so, how? In thinking if the creatures existed in Eberron or not (and I do think they've been mentioned in Eberron source material, but I can't think of where off the top of my head), I started thinking about some of the major plot hooks in the campaign. Might there be a Kolyarut imprisoned somewhere deep in Kaius' fortress, after it tried to compel the king into keeping his bargain with the Blood of Vol? Is a Marut hunting down Erandis Vol for cheating death, even if it was not her choice? And are Varakhuts watching and studying the Undying Court? How close has the Court come to godhood, and can the constructs prevent them from reaching it before it is too late? Just some thoughts on how these guys might fit into the setting. So, have any of you used them? Please share!

The idea as presented there is essentially that it's OK to bring someone back if their destiny is unfinished, but if their role is done you can get in trouble and end up with maruts... thus, Jorasco generally performs an Augury before proceeding with any resurrection, and if the augury comes up negative they turn down the job. This explains why Erandis has gotten away with it for thousands of years but certain other important people haven't been resurrected. Erandis' story isn't over yet; Jarot's, on the other hand, is.   But that's just one idea and even there I believe Maruts are the only ones mentioned.

As an aside, how do you imagine resurrection working if someone were to simply find the soul of a person wandering around in Dolurrh and brought it back through a portal? Would the soul immediately find and enter its old body upon returning to Eberron? Would the body have to be present? Could you present the soul with a new body? Everyone's thoughts appreciated!

Perhaps a vessel could be built for the soul, akin to a warforged's or golem's body. Their soul could simple become material as soon as they enter into this plane, if their original body is decayed. Really its up to how the story of said ressurection would run
