What I said was even more difficult--the deity must be completely forgotten, at which point it is wiped from existence. But this means that every single being on the planet must have no knowledge whatsoever that the god existed.<br /><br />Also, I'd argue that Orcus doesn't count as a true god. Demon and Devil Lords are fair game for death, though they might be difficult to kill.The Grey Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696474020129732936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-24404983120321073462010-11-29T16:33:24.215-06:002010-11-29T16:33:24.215-06:00Hmmm...not a god in the sense of one in the fullne...Hmmm...not a god in the sense of one in the fullness of their power and with an active cult, no.<br /><br />I'm not so sure gods can't die if their cult lives. Maybe gods are banished to some underworld, where they still receive worship, but can't really effect the world? Maybe "death' is just a different state of beings for gods, and now a somewhat diminished by still puissant undead Tiamat wants revenge?Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
