You can't die in Haven.

You are literally unable to die if you aren't a dumbass.

Not completely true if you are out stated or out matched or 6 people in a knarr cleave you at the same time

You can work around that by adding a space to the name (this works for a while) or feel free to recycle the name with '2nd', 'jr.' or whatever you like. Also you're able to set the presentation name (before interacting with another character) of an inherited character to the name of the ancestor, afaik this negates the inability to pick the same name at least toward all others interacting with your fresh character replacement.

I solved this by just adding son or dottir to the end of my name.

This ended up with alts of mine being named Raegnar Raegnarsonsonsonson.

You can just ask your friends for their hs, so it's pointless. Everyone important will be added back almost immediately.

In practice, dying doesn't feel like you're playing as a descendant of the original character. If you're not a hermit you go back to your village and keep doing whatever you were previously doing, just with lowered stats. The loss of friends/knowledge sadly doesn't help with immersion.

The stats lost serve a purpose, but forgetting everything and everyone is just tedious. It just means you have to spend a few hours running around foraging and pestering your friends to teach you various materials.
