What happens when a Dreamer dies in Eidolon City? Do they die in the real world?

Because Eidolon City is an illusion, death isn't really death. Dying in Eidolon City does not mean that, in the real world, someone is suddenly going to drop dead. This means that if a Dreamer in Eidolon City drops dead for some reason, they will 'reappear' elsewhere in the illusion. More information about this can be found on the Game Play page, but in summary what this means for you, the player, is that the death of a character doesn't have to mean the end.

This does not mean that you have to have a character reappear in the game if they get killed within the game environment, but it is an option for you. It does, of course, mean that your character will lose their history and contacts within the city and you will be starting them from scratch, but what this also means is that if you have written your character into a corner, or you don't like where they've ended up, you can 'restart' as a different incarnation. We hope that this helps with some of the issues we have seen players (including ourselves!) find themselves with in the past.
