Anyone trying such a quest would find that it doesn't work like that. Reality does have a certain resilience, and (taking this as a given for the sake of argument) Basmol _was_ killed. The Basmoli know this happened. They may want to try and bring Basmol back, but how can they put their full, unconditional, committed support behind somehting they _know_ is a lie? It's doomed to failiure from the start. In theyalan terms, it's a violation of the compromise. The whole of Basmoli culture and history since Basmol's death would unravell and lose it's cohesion.
The god learners tried this sort of thing, and even they failed.

Yes indeed, exactly like Yelm who died but was brought back. However, Yelm still died, and the Darkness still happened.
