But keep in mind some things could be a direct effect, others could be indirect. For example, Paizo's Golarion setting has a dead god - the First Man, Aroden. He's a human who ascended to godhood, did a lot of stuff in the setting, then went off for a while. He was prophesied to come back, but then suddenly didn't because he was dead. The direct effects included:1) major prophecies stopped working2) storms wracked the setting and the permanent hurricane the Eye of Abendego came into being, destroying a couple of countries and disrupting the ongoing colonization of another3) priests of Aroden lost access to spellsMore indirectly:4) The nation of Cheliax, where Aroden was prophesied to appear, descended into civil war and eventually became dominated by a devil-worshiping regime, it's most recent colonies spun off into their own political control in Korvosa and Sargava, and the empire started breaking up in other ways5) A trio of spellcasters opened the World Wound, a connection between Golarion and the Abyss, wrecking yet another nation - may have been coincidental, but the spellcasters were ultimately working for an old enemy of Aroden, so I'm guessing an opportunity was seized.</blockquote>
