Diving into that well in Rarywey's shrine was one of the the most reckless
things Arstan ever did, second only to setting Jazhi's ship aflame.

As he suspected, the Goddess of Death would not favor him. In his visit,
he alluded to how he cheated death once and gained an opportunity to live
a normal life, an opportunity largely squandered when he chose to continue
learning necromancy. The accursed craft brought him scorn and bereavement,
even gold gave him no joy for it was only ever used to buy safety from
persecution. It's too late to change course now. Yet the idea that death
cleanses and allows one to start over just... resonates with his mind, in
a perverse understanding that existing he will soon die and be born anew.

In the safety of the graveyard, his mind is far away, daydreaming his
conversation with the abomination that is Wood-and-Bones. "You will not
have my remains yet... Not even undeath lasts forever, but it will be a
long new life, and one I intend to enjoy."
