The resurrection of dead humans was a central doctrine of Judaism, Christianity and Abrahamic religions, including Zoroastrianism, prior to Footfall. Since Footfall, leaders of all of these religions have been pressed by internal and external sources to explain new or modified stances on the purpose, meaning and accepted beliefs of resurrection due to the fact that resurrection on Earth (or Thrycion) is now a viable option for all of their followers. Michael Caryen, a Denver firefighter who died fighting a chemical fire at a textile factory, was the first person to be resurrected on Earth. Bryong, the Thrycion freecaster who came to Earth with Stephen Cairnhist and Max Esso, resurrected Caryen at the request of Winifred Proach. This event was widely reported, studied and debated. However, since the first resurrection on Earth a new industry with the sole purpose of providing resurrection services to anyone on Earth who can afford the magical procedure has sprung up, prompting a new set of laws, ethics and etiquette and to be built be politicians, church leaders and the public.
