* While most [[ADungeonIsYou Living Dungeon]] stories have either a Core or an Avatar, in "Literature/NoNeedForACore"?, dungeons have both. Typically they start with only the core and develop the avatar later. This mostly acts as a remote body with extra processing until the avatar can be enhanced to leave the dungeon's territory, at which point it is autonomous but with a spiritual link back to the core, where the soul resides. This means that the death of an invested avatar is impermanent, with all memories being returned to the core which can rebuild the avatar with time and effort.
