Description
For the 19th theme, 'Grey'.

In real life, when you die, that's it for you. There's no coming back, right? Well in Azeroth, the World of Warcraft, death is a mere inconvenience.

When you die in World of Warcraft, you have a few options regarding how you will come back to life. One way is if you are grouped with one of the few character classes that can cast spells to resurrect you. If that isn't an option, then the most common way to return to life is to 'release spirit'. When you do this, you will be transported to the nearest graveyard as a ghost, and the world will look somewhat similar to this picture.

As a ghost you cannot attack or cast spells; you must either run back to the place where you fell, where you will then be allowed to come back to life with half of your total health and mana. You can then keep questing or fighting from there with no further delay. This appears to be the choice this undead rogue made, looking over at his corpse and his killer, (Heh, it's Shugar ) waiting for the right moment to come back to life.

If you died somewhere that is either too far away or too dangerous to return to life in, you can choose to resurrect at the graveyard itself by talking to the spirit healer. (That blue ghost/angel looking being.) This will be bit more costly, as your equipped items suffer a larger durability loss and you are afflicted with a 10 minute debuff called Resurrection Sickness that makes your character nearly helpless by lowering all of their stats and damage output by 75%.
