There's been discussion of Yanafal Tarnils of late.

One interpretation is that by going on a Lightbringer's Quest (sorry, a quest to recover a dead sky deity) that he learned a way out of Hell. This is the source of his ability to be resurrected.

Note that Orlanthi Humakti in general don't go on the LBQ, and thus don't have this knowledge.

I suspect that the immortality of many heroes is of this nature -- if Ethilrist dies, he knows the path to his basement at Muse Roost, and can climb back to the surface world.
