Asheron's Call wouldn't stay exciting very long if death had no consequences. When you are slain, you'll resurrect at the last lifestone to which you attuned your character, having lost one or more valuable items, half your pyreals, if any, and a percentage of your "vitae," or life force. All your skills are decreased by the percentage of your vitae loss and so are the maximum values of your secondary attributes -- Health, Stamina, and Mana.

However, not all is lost! once you have been resurrected, you can return to your place of death and claim your dropped items (except Pyreals, scavenger Drudges cannot resist these shiny coins) and restore you vitae by earning experience. But be warned, leave it too long and you will lose your items forever. Also, should you play on the PvP world of Darktide and were killed by another player, they too can claim your dropped items.
