You've arrived to a strange land. Here... a very powerful magic makes it so that the dead are living, at least within the confines of this land. What that means is that those who have... passed on are essentially alive, through the power of that magic. So... even dead, those who are still living here will be able to see you, yes.
At least, I believe so. [H- he obviously cannot affirm whether the living CAN see him. Since he's. not.]
