As I understand it, Chalana Arroy knows how to heal mortal wounds. Within 7 days of death, the soul of the deceased stays connected to the body. So if a healer heals the mortal wound, the body and soul can be re-integrated.
After 7 days the soul has been judged by Daka Fal and goes to the place of it's doom. At that point, the healer can't help. Orlanthi know how to go to the underworld and release the soul, so that a healer can heal the death wound.
So a Chalana Arroy resurection isn't realy a mini-LBQ.
