I've jus t a question because perhaps I forget it, but where did the King Eodred have been buried?
A possibilty is in the Gray but in the Gold Ward it is for nobility not the roality, and the gratr tomb is for military leaders or most decorated military, so? Of course the king lead the Korvosa guard but I am not sure that it's the best place for him?
What do you think about that?
Tnahks!

I really don't know, but it is quite certain, that he is not buried, where he should be. Queen Ileosa poisoned the king, so he is probably burnt, in order to destroy evidence and then his ash is probably hidden away somewhere so that no one can resurrect the king or question him by speak with dead.
But still an interesting question...

Royals are usually entombed in a vault completely separate from everyone else. In Europe, this might be a vault in a royal palace or a separate cathedral. Therefore, I suggest Eodred is interred somewhere beneath Castle Korvosa.
As the previous poster suggested, it is possible that after Ileosa consolidates her power something may happen to the body. But just remember that Eodred actually didn't know anything when he died, not even that he was poisoned. So spells like Speak to the Dead are useless. Furthermore, I don't think forensics are so advanced as to be able to figure out how he really died even if disinterred.

King Eodred II's body is...
...in a crypt under Castle Korvosa. The PCs are unlikely to be able to get to it until Pathfinder 12, which has guidelines about what to do if they discover it. (Short Version: speak with dead doesn't help much since he didn't realize he was being poisoned, and he can't be brought back to life because he's already been judged by Pharasma, AKA, he doesn't want to come back to life.)

No prob!
Again, while knowledge that monarchs are buried in crypts under the castle is more or less common knowledge... what happened to Eodred and whether or not he's actually IN his crypt under the castle isn't something anyone can really hope to resolve until the last adventure. Ileosa doesn't let just anyone into the Castle these days, after all...

Where can I find the long version which explains why the king has not been resurrected, just after his death?King Eodred II's body is...
** spoiler omitted **
Primarily because everyone thought he died of old age or an incurable disease. In neither case would a raise dead do anything besides being a waste of gold.

But..
shortly after his death someone is convicted of murdering him- thus not old age or something that cant be 'cured'- surely once this is found to be the case there are questions to be asked about him being raised from the dead

Ah that was the flaw in Ileosas plan...once she had accused Trinia and the players had discovered the truth things were going to fall apart for her.

But..
I think the assumption in general is that the options of raise dead / resurrection aren’t often used by those not of the adventuring persuasion. “An untimely death” is a well used plot device, and it simply doesn’t work (or detracts from the story) if you have to think up blocks for the different ways the victim could have been brought back. If you need an explanation because your players won’t let it go, you can use one of the ones James provided. Alternatively, you could simply say that it’s local tradition among the monarchs of Korvosa that they get one shot at life to make their mark, and no one would follow a monarch who had to be brought back for a second go at it. Can create all sorts of taboos against it for the royals.

And, what about body decomposition?
I wouldn't want to return to my body now that it had been entombed for quite some time. . ..
