Although he did not know the exact mechanism by which divine Authority resurrected believers, he was certain that everything in the world came with a cost.
Otherwise, why would so many dragon souls still slumber under the Divine Realm?
David did not know what this cost was or who would pay it, but he felt it should be avoided as much as possible.
He could not add to the burdens of Pafila, who was acting in the Chromatic Dragon Queen's divine position in her stead.
The pressure on her was already overwhelming.
Besides, he didn't even know how many of the great dragons under his command truly believed in the Dragon Queen Tiamat.
If those fellows took advantage of 'not dying' to cause trouble, when the 'Decaying Dragon God' returned to his position, they would likely be cut down like a field of leeks collapsing en masse. Wouldn't all his years of nurturing them have been in vain then?
