I was devastated after what I saw in the waking sands after fighting Titan. I had hoped one of my favorite npcs would have survived the ordeal (A'aba Tia). My whole goal until now was to see that he was in fact still alive, and to find out he and many others were not was a really bad crushing blow. Maybe somehow, would it be possible to bring back the dead? Ever? Probably not possible, but would be very very great if it was.
Yeah, the Raid on the Waking Sands was a major dark twist in the story - but sadly, it claimed the lives of most of the members of the Scions at that stage (including A'aba from what I remember). Channel that rage though! You'll eventually have the chance to get revenge on the one responsible, and plus, you'll find many more new members end up joining later as well. :)
As for raising the dead, the game's lore makes it very clear, in 99% of cases, resurrection of the deceased is a very, very bad idea - the whole story behind Tam-Tara Deepcroft Hard-Mode in particular shows why the dead should be left to rest in peace - the results, often aren't pretty. ;)
I must say that that bit after Titan is really where the story for me picked up. It wen't from we are all doing this to you are here alone and crushed. You still have this threat to deal with and you need to sort it out. Pick yourself up and channel that rage and loss into something grander.
