Yeah, well I've got a sneaking suspicion about 'Great weapons' and how they
affect a persons lifespan (because of the connection to the soul, and if I'm
not mistaken all Undead means is a dead body with an active soul), that is
the only person whom I can see reference to having died - from being
killed - is Kieron, Sethra is 'Special' I'll admit but she is both a weilder
of a Great weapon and has not died from 'natural' causes (to my knowledge),
she is however now Undead. Aliera and Morrolan are both living and both
weilders of Great weapons and both decently young so to see if 'natural'
causes is something to be seen, Vlad now carries a Great weapon, but in all
reality he will die well before 'natural causes' get a chance to set in at
the rate he goes - even if it's only 30-40 years off for 'natural' causes to
set in.
What I want to know is if any other weilders of Great weapons are either
Undead or older than a natural lifespan not being Undead, or if all weilders
of Great weapons that are older than 'normal' are Undead (having first had
the Great weapon before Undeath)
*natural causes* = old age when the body fails.
