Maybe someone can send Devera to get a recording of Teldra's soul?
Then they can make a new body for her, a la The Necromancer, and stuff
the soul back into it a la Aliera.

Not that I actually want to see this happen. Cheap resurrection is the
stuff of D&D.

I don't think this necessarily follows. Would Vlad feel bad about
stabbing kindergarteners? You can always bring them back to life,
after all.

Aliera says that having your soul eaten is a traumatic experience, and
she's in a position to know.
