I don't have any bad ideas for what would happen with items right now unfortunately.
They just stay on the corpse. Which is lootable by all. Except maybe the said no drop magic items, so maybe u can get that back. If you make the treck out within a week.

When u die u drop a personal soulshard with lore from identify about your character name, lvl, diety, whatever, which is what the clerics use to rez u. So maybe somehow ur soul finds its way to a cleric and they decide to rez u, ur character shows its alive again in their new home.

But I prefer death being less about running back to your corpse. Permadeath should be rare and only come from rare mobs or raid mobs. Like the final mob in a dungeon, ghoul lord, etc. The lady at the top of ToFS. But not even the named on the lower lvls.

Ppl should just get knocked out and wake back up at their soulbind and loose like an entire lvl of exp. There should be soulbinders in like every outdoor zone. At a small village. Except maybe a few exceptions like western wastes. Or gorge of King xorbb.

Plus maybe a non magic or non lore droppable item gets lost or stays on a lootable body that is more like a container near were they died.

Rezzez shouldn't return exp. Just life in the case of permadeath.

Zones should progress further from civilization until maybe there's no more village and u have to cross back into the next zone. Like nk should be a village zone but put a zone to the north which is outdoors but harder and more remote.

Same for the east of SK.

And maybe one coming off rathe mnts.

And one coming off lesser fay.

One coming off stonebrunt.

As examples.

But I would prefer zones like that be connections. So they are between major cities or village zones.

Like qeynos>hills>wk>the wild hills<nk<ek<hhp<hhk>kithocor>the forest lakes edge>wc>ec>for

The forest lakes edge would be like half forest with a loch in the middle and plains with like boulders leading up into it. A bigger village would be just on the other side of the kithicor zone (the village would stay safe). But the lakeforest zone would be ruled by giant dire animals.

The wilderness zones out in the middle wouldn't really have momster civilization. They'd be mostly untouched wilds without even orcs, sarnacks, othmir, ulthork etc. More primevil. Maybe giant bugs, lizards, wolves, sbakes, birds, but like not civilized or technological in any way.
