What if our character died?

[RobinMalvin]

Would something happen to our bodies like Ysale's explosion in Azys Lla?

Ysayle's is not the only death that caused their bodies to disintegrate completely to aether. Louisoix, Thordan and his Knight Twelve all died in similar manner, probably because they took so much aether into them. Unless WoL decides to do the same, we'll die normally with remains to mourn.

While we've seen that WoL isn't without flaws, most people only know us as invincible hero, even those close to us sometimes forget how we're just as mortal as they are. Should we be killed, it'll serve as cruel reminder to the people that'll shock them to the core. Urianger knows this, that's why he convinced WoD to kill us, to sow terror in people's heart even greater than any calamity could hope to achieve.

Well, they certainly went about it the wrong way. Maybe if they had spiked our drinks with a sleeping drug instead... :^)
