I disagree with Tim on this ress to resser. Imo its like the dude died at
place xyz. Some religious (good/bad) is just bringing his soul back to his
bodyily form which is where he died (ok ok we dont actually have a corpse to
look at).

Portal with/without etc blah blah.. FUCK i hate that portal. Just doesnt make
sense to me, seems like a nasty hack so people can get about quickly to do
player interaction without having to hang around. Lots of interaction
(merchants) need people to bring eq anyway.. I'd vote for portal removal (need
to fix a few other quests/tasks maybe other stuff aswell).
