@TheEdVerse in Waterdeep, if a noble were killed and resurrected in a new form, do they need to go through any process to prove they really are who they say they are?

Oh, yes, because if not accepted, they “lose their place” in the lineage (lose titles, can’t inherit any family property, etc.). In Cormyr, it’s even the law for royalty, and established internal custom in many noble houses. 2/3) Process varies, but always involves attempted mind-reading/detect lie (with hired clerical and/or mage assistance/scrutiny) as they're asked questions about their past that "only the real person would know correct answers to." Some families are narrow enough…#Realmslore

3/3) …in views that it doesn't matter: they won't be accepted as a "true" family member in a new form…unless later on they're only one left standing of their generation, or otherwise have "earned" their status (akin to how Tyrion Lannister's father treated him).#Realmslore
