Death is an everyday part of the court of intrigue, one that Elodie will sorely need to avoid else she gives credit to the latter half of her name. It's easier said than done.
Deaths are listed on the main menu the same way as Achievements, giving an incentive for players to find all the ways poor Elodie could meet an unfortunate end. Some of these may need very specific choices to occur.
