They were for all intents and purposes dead had we not intervened. The point is, the theme has been learning to deal with loss and death and moving forward. Yet we still bring them back so what exactly is the moral of the story here? Just be the main protagonists of the story and you can be resurrected? Think about all of the people in Thavnair and Garlemald who actually had to suffer. Meanwhile the scions “sacrifice” themselves only to be brought back moments later. So much for loss and suffering, they felt none of it. That’s exactly my point. It’s no different than the whole ticking time bomb thing in ShB with the scions only for it to amount to nothing. It’s these constant death flags and fakeout deaths that just amount to nothing that attributed to dislike of this expansion. Not very good writing imo.
