In the Eberron campaign I'm playing in, there was an incident a little over 100 years ago that led to the assassinations of almost every head of the dragonmark houses. Cannith was blamed for the attack since they weren't targeted. Everyone that was part of the house was hunted down and killed or forced into hiding in the wilderness. I would like to question the people that were killed and the people who were blamed then killed as a result. I want the other side to the story. Right now all I have is the word of the people going out and murdering ever Cannith member they find. I don't necessarily trust their word because the accusation was made by 1 single person. 1 good lie at the right time could have started this whole genocide.
Is there a spell that can summon a petitioner from their afterlife to be questioned about the incident? If not summon them, at least question them in some way. I know speak with dead could theoretically be used to get the info but it requires the mouth of the body to be at least somewhat intact. I can't guarantee that it would be after a century of decomposition. If needed, I may have to resort to casting resurrection on everyone before questioning them. However, that requires everyone to be willing to return which I also can't guarantee. I just want to find out what really happened during that time and confirm the accusation or clear their name.
