Causes of Death



The Cause of Death of a character appears after their death, and is visible on their Family Trees, which can be accessed on the game's main menu and at the top of the official OHOL website. There are many ways a player's character can die in the game, the most likely being starvation, while probably the most esteemed is Old Age. A murdered character's bones will appear bloody for 5 minutes.
