The main death penalty is skill loss, covered below. In addition you also lose 15% food and water.
When you die fighting '''a guard or creature''' (also known as PvE death) you will lose 0.25 points from '''a 5 random 5''' skillskills, and 0.01 body strength. The body strength only updates every second death unless you log out. If you die inside your homestead or village, the penalty is only 0.025 points instead.
If you die with a bad reputation (lower than 0), you will more skill ''amount unknown''. In a 2 year old village, the skill loss is 0.6 from 5 random skills.
While dead, you will be on a red and black screen with a little box in the middle, you will have to choose where you want to respawn. If you are dead and you cannot see the little box, type /respawn in your chat window.
While you have no deed, you will only be able to spawn at your start town. When you are the owner or citizen of a settlement, you will be able to spawn on or outside that settlement. If that settlement has any allies you will be able to spawn there also if you die within 50 tiles of their center. If the server you died on has a [[white light]] and [[black light]], you are also able to spawn at the light belonging to your kingdom.'
